On November 13 the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) announced the delisting of the Delmarva fox squirrel (Sciurus niger cinereus), one of ten subspecies of the eastern fox squirrel (Sciurus niger). Once occurring throughout forested areas in the Delmarva Peninsula, which includes portions of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, the subspecies was down to 10% of its historic range at the time of listing in 1967.
