Photogenic Squirrel

I just found out that apparently, my squirrel has a mate. I think the one that comes around the most is the male and he is the bravest. When I leave bigger pieces of food out for him I am sure he takes it to his mate. He has become much friendlier and today while he was eating I could take photos of him outside and he even turned and looked right at me and did not stop munching as you can see by the photo.

Isn't he lovely? Perhaps one day you'll be able to feed him by hand. There was a writer on Bubblews who had chipmunks that would climb all over them and look in their pockets for food.

I would love it if the squirrel got friendlier @JudyEv

@RasmaSandra I'm sure he will although it might take a little time.

Humans have copied a lot of animal expressions not the reverse--I love just observing all the sorts of creatures we have around here.

@RasmaSandra he'll soon be demanding his own tv set and extra cushions

The squirrel is still keeping an eye on you. Leave him more food and he will be back.

@RasmaSandra Whitet, my mom and dads cat that is now mine, caught one this spring. Then DeVil had a young one late this summer.

I am just thinking what I will do if I over feed him and he gets really big you know like in one of those movies when a creature gets almost human size @JohnRoberts but I don't suppose that is possible. He might get awful fat and then he won't be able to leap into the palm trees

I was looking at him today and I think he is already feeling rather pampered. I put out food for him every morning @Courage7

Having a squirrel is really wonderful. As he got a partner now, he won't feel bored anymore.

He is adorable. I love watching the chase each other around the trees and across the yard.
