This has been posted in some other threads.......but I missed posting it here where it belongs.
This is a little Newbie Squirrel, maybe 8 weeks old...and already he has learned "squirrel tricks" .....like getting in the feeder box and hogging all the feed to keep other squirrels from getting it. These guys are smart...in fact, squirrels are recognized as being among some of the smartest animals.
He stayed in that box even though it was 95F, for almost an hour and when he left there wasn't a sunflower seed in it that hadn't been devoured and stored in his fat little belly!
Note the soles of his little foot....this is the first time I have ever seen the soles of a squirrels foot...kind of neat! You should have heard him grabbing his little toes and saying "...this little piggy went to market.....".
Regards!
