Ol' Kink Tail

So I saw Ol' Kink Tail (squirrel) today on the way out to work.

I am not sure what exactly happened to Kink Tail. He had a definite kink in his tail last fall, then the end of his tail fell off. I have two theories, either I shot his tail before I went to stun with the bb gun, or a car ran over the tip of his tail (most likely as I found his tail near the gate).

I thought that he died over the winter, but he didn't. Where the kink tail was, he now has a tuft of white hair.

I'll try and get a picture.
