It certainly isn't that noticable, but you will see that summer fox squirrels are a bit scrawnier looking than their winter persona. I think they become more organgish and the pelt is shorter.

Do fox squirrels molt as well? I see them almost every day and have never seen any color variation or sparse areas of fur. Thanks!
