This gorgeous squirrel came so close to me, and I had him all to myself fo a couple of minutes.
Did you know the English didn't have a word for the colour orange until they "met" the fruit? Orange animals were described as red, that's why we have red squirrels, red deer, robin red breast and red-heads!
