Out of curiosity, how would you tell a black Gray Squirrel from a black Fox Squirrel?

Fox Squirrels are noticeably larger than a Gray Squirrel, and have a longer tail. Also their head has a different shape......... hard to describe, but if you looks at pictures of the two it is obvious.

We have borrowed her from our Descendants.
