Squirrel appreciation day

Jan 21, 2012 19:55

So I'm hearing from many on twitter that it's "Squirrel Appreciation Day." It's hard for me to think past the brush-tailed tree rats that chew through wood and plastic building materials and make my life more difficult, but I will try. Sciuridae is big successful family within the big successful Rodentia order. Here are some highlights from this blog:




Golden-mantled ground squirrel, Callospermophilus lateralis, Crater Lake, Oregon.

California ground squirrel Otospermophilus beecheyi, Devil's Punch Bowl, Oregon.




Eastern chipmunk Tamias striatus, Brookline Massachusetts.



Woodchuck Marmota monax, Lincoln Massachusetts.



Hoary Marmot, Marmota caligata, Stanley Park, Vancouver British Colubia.



Eastern gray squirrel Sciurus carolinensis, Franklin Park, Boston Massachusetts.

I highly recommend clicking my eastern gray squirrel tag for maximum squirrel enjoyment.

Also I'm still happy about these comics:
