Am I going blind?can't see a sqizzer at all. I've even got a magnifier out. Give me a clue... please...
There's a definite edge enhancement look there 
- or have you applied a heavy sharpening filter? As said, 'cool'.
Greys vary in colour quite considerably - I'm told, but never seen one, that you can get completely black ones!

No alterations at all, raw photo from the phone, I think it focused more on the branch in front and not on the squirrel. But I didn't have a lot of time for the shot it was on the move.
Taken in Chur, Switzerland. Just got home.

There is definitely something weird going on there BJJJ - on the first two photos it looks like there's edge enhancement; are there any 'effects' you can programme into your phone (accidently)?
Anyway, the trip looks stunning!

Ah, yes, zoom on a phone is only digital so you get the same information spread over more pixels - a thin line would look thicker etc. - that could explain it.
There’s an online tool that shows up photoshopping, source material etc.

The image shows as the man says, straight from his phone. The pixels would show disturbance around the area of changes made if photoshopped in any way. I think it’s just a digital phenomenon, maybe to do with the zoom.
I found this little fella here, is he similar?
Definitely looks like a Melanistic Red Squirrel - do they have greys in Switzerland?

(Some red squirrels can actually be black! Melanistic individuals are commonly seen in the eastern part of their European range, particularly in mountainous areas.)

I have no idea, I can vouch for the fondue though.
and the chocolate, and the bratwurst.
That's a cute squirrel Nice pics, BJJJ .. .I pinched the last one for a screensaver
Here in Canada, especially in the east, squirrels are extremely varied things. Name a colour combination, give it a few days and you'll likely see one.
I remember seeing a lot of black squirrels with tufty ears in Germany over the years. North and South. They seemed to be a lot bigger than your average, rat-sized UK urban grey, but that might just be odd effects of scale from trees, landscape etc. They seemed to move more heavily too, though.
