They're being driven south by global warming. They follow herds of caribou because they provide the warmest long-term storage space for the taiga nuts the squirrels crave. Of course, getting their nuts in and out of the storage space is a messy business, and the moose don't like it, which is why the squirrels have evolved their white fur - to sneak up on the unwary caribou from behind. The downside is that the white fur provides ample of evidence to the caribou of a hindmost infiltration, so whenever they see a dung-coloured squirrel the whole herd chases it for revenge. Look closely at the front of any footage of stampeding caribou and you'll see a skid-marked squirrel running like f_ck.
