I was outside walking the dogs a short while ago and stopped to chat with a neighbor of mine. While we were talking my dogs alerted on two squirrels. They were black squirrels which is odd, because we usually only see the grey and reddish ones around here.

I commented on that and my neighbor said, "There goes the squirrel neighborhood."

Pretty sure fur composition does more for heat retention than color. See; Polar Bears, Siberian Tigers, Snow Owls... Any white animal living in snow. The downy undercoat with a white outercoat is much more useful due to camouflage than the small amount of heat retention of a black outercoat. Those climates don't get a lot of sun. Camo>catching rays.

Now look up what colour a polar bear's skin is. Hint, we'll probably have some upset poalers on our hands.
