Two subspecies of the widely-distributed Abert's, or 'tassle-eared' squirrel occur on either side of the Grand Canyon: the black-bellied Kaibab squirrel (Sciurus aberti kaibabensis) in a small region on the north rim, and the more widely-distributed white-bellied Abert's squirrel (S. a. aberti). These Abert's squirrels were photographed in Flagstaff, Arizona; the Kaibab squirrel was near the campground at the Grand Canyon's North Rim Lodge . The white-tailed subspecies of Abert's squirrel (S. a. chuscensis) was in the Catalina Mountains near Tucson.
