No, but almost all of us “Nausicäa” fans wish that it was.
In real life, southwestern fox squirrels and eastern gray squirrels look enough alike that a lot of people in Los Angeles think that the local squirrels are gray squirrels. My sister Sherry feeds the squirrels that come over her backyard wall into her garden (also the raccoons that come at night), and they are superficially gray, but with a lot of orange and light brown mixed into their fur that true gray squirrels don’t have.
