Many people who visit Toronto for the first time are shocked by the sight of black squirrels everywhere. Many Torontonians are equally shocked to learn that black squirrels are rare and exotic creatures to outsiders. In Toronto black squirrels outnumber grey ones by a ratio of 10 to 1, and are just about everywhere you look. Outside of the city limits however you'd be hard pressed to find a single black one, unless you were in London Ontario, Washington D.C. or the handful of small towns across the U.S. that sees them not as a nuisance, but as a source of civic pride.
