A Squirrel

[TJMcG139 23]

I don't really like squirrels all that much, as they can be very destructive little rodents, but sometimes you just have to take advantage of the pose...

Full disclosure: This is a wild squirrel, not in a zoo, not in a preserve, not in captivity. not banded, not domesticated.

Unusual coloring?? Around here ww have reddish orange, gray and coal black. The black is a mutant gene that was brought in by the snowbirds/rvs as hitch hikers. Unfortunately the black gene is dominant as the population is spreading out.

It looks different to our squirrels here in the UK

Nice shot! Looks like the squirrels that hang around the Grand Canyon.
