It was only slightly bald last week. At this rate it'll be naked in two months.

Zombie squirrel apocalypse?

Perhaps the local "authority" would be interested...

wasn't it you that trapped that last one, and dumped it over a hill some ways from your house just as winter starting setting in ? i believe he was taking up too much room in your garage, and keeping you up at night with his rowdy parties.

he's back...

In all likelihood it's mange, which is caused by mites.
Rabies is far less prevalent in things like squirrels and other SMALL mammals (small mammals excluding groundhogs...we've got a good bit of them here with rabies) than skunks/raccoons/bats and whatnot.

If you wait for the mange to increase, you could invent a new cryptobiology species. However, in keeping with canon, I move to call it a juvenile stage of el chupacabra.

That's one ugly critter there.

I'd show the pics to the local animal control people.

He'd get along marvelously with my cardinal:

FWIW Massachusetts just recorded its first human death from rabies in about forty or fifty years.
