Only Black Squirrels

Our neighborhood is home to at least three different types of squirrels - grey ones, black ones, and small, aggressive red ones. In addition, we have two types of chipmunks - long-tailed and short-tailed.


But what puzzles me is - now that winter is here - the only squirrels running around outdoors are black ones! I wonder why...

They do run around in the snow, but I find it easier to take pictures of them when they're resting on the fence.

I wonder if they're able to withstand cold better than the others... though it always amazes me that any of them - birds or animals - can live outside in winter and not freeze.
