2006’s Top Ten White & Black Squirrels’ Hot Spots

Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 30th, 2006

Here are two new fun lists for 2006. They represent my top ten choices (each) of white and black squirrels’ hot spots tied to their sightings and appearances. White squirrels are infrequently albino (with pink eyes) and more often near-albinos (with dark eyes). The more numerous melanistic and near-melanistic (often looking brown) squirrels are celebrated […]

Posted by: Loren Coleman on November 30th, 2006

The Once And Future University of North Texas White Squirrel. (This posting today is done in conjunction with my two end-of-2006 lists on white and black squirrels). Portland, Maine, is the new city on Frommer’s list of the top world destination in 2007, as I mentioned yesterday. Now it turns out, the city has a […]

Black Squirrel Expedition

Posted by: Loren Coleman on April 26th, 2008

Black squirrels are a common topic here at Cryptomundo. As fate would have it, I had a recent encounter of the black squirrel kind that set me to thinking about the origins of their pocketed appearances around the continent. Black squirrels in Harvard Square and at Kent State may be linked in more ways than […]

Black Squirrel Research Funded

Posted by: Loren Coleman on February 11th, 2008

There is news of a considered and thoughtful educational effort to do “black squirrel” research. Due to a growing population on Long Island, New York, a new “Black Squirrel Headquarters” has sprung up in the Lake Grove neighborhood. Noting the black squirrels have also “colonized suburban Washington D.C.; Reedsburg, Wis., and Princeton, N.J.,” Bill Roe’s […]

Elusive as Bigfoot: White Squirrels

Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 6th, 2007

Remember my blogs at the end of last year, about black (melanistic) and white (albino and near albino) squirrels? Those stories became some of the most popular (non-mystery photo) postings that have appeared here. See 2006’s Top Black and White Squirrel Locations, Yahoo’s Makes Us #1 With Salt & Pepper Squirrels, and Black and White […]

Big Black Cats in Louisiana

Posted by: Craig Woolheater on June 14th, 2007

Are they cougars, jaguars or nothing special? Morehouse Parish residents — especially those in the northern part of the parish — periodically report seeing big cats, or of hearing their blood-curdling screams in the dark of night. Whether or not panthers, cougars or some other large cat actually live in Morehouse Parish has been a […]

Ratatosk Predicts Red Sox Victory

Posted by: Loren Coleman on August 30th, 2007

I’ve spent some time here discussing melanistic or black squirrels. It seems only logical, perhaps even nuts, to not ignore the significant publishing of an article in today’s New York Times regarding some squirrel lore that can be seen to unfold in the coming weeks. What is being set up is a testable experiment. If […]

Bigfoot? Lost Hiker’s “Monkey” Sighting

Posted by: Loren Coleman on July 16th, 2008

I saw this one coming. A chimpanzee escapes near the San Bernardino Mountains, California, and then the media finds itself being more open to publishing sightings of hairy primates in the area. It is happening. Of course, the media and the caregivers to Moe, the chimp escapee, are divided about whether they want these mystery […]

Longing for Linsangs

Posted by: Loren Coleman on June 24th, 2008

What is one of the world’s rarest carnivores? It’s the linsang. But what’s a linsang? Of the figurine collection above, can you pick out the linsang? (The answer is below, as I share images of almost a dozen of these animal replicas for this discussion, in the last third of this posting.) During my trek […]
