Hairless Squirrel, not sure how this will end

July 14, 2017
 
Very surprising sight.
 
Cropped image of red squirrel missing most of its hair.
 
By late day it had less hair than this. Today, July 15th very little at all left.
 However it is participating in all things squirrels do and is very active.
Checking on the 'net lends one to hope it is just a damp weather fungi attack
 and being warm weather he should survive. One hopes.

After a 24 hour break, starting to finish the grass.
