That Tail is Ridiculous!

I've never seen such a long tail on a squirrel. It goes up along his back and then curves over and goes back right down the length of his body. I'm not sure what he is eating that is making it grow so long.

It's nice to see. I often see black squirrels with skimpy half-furless tails, and it worries me. This is a healthy one!

@365projectorgheatherb Me too, the black guys seem to have skimpy, scruffy-looking tails. The grey guys get the luxurious looking ones, even so I've never before seen one this long.

Beautiful capture.

Very nice capture. Have you noticed this one jumping from tree to tree?

Cute squirrel. Most of mine have pretty long tails unless they get caught by a hawk. The fur usually grows back. The babies tails are always skimpy.

What a cutie!

@joysabin Now that the trees are fully in leaf I don't really see them once they get up there. I have seen him scampering across the yard and along the fence with the tail trailing out behind, but haven't caught it on camera yet.
