Sherman's Fox Squirrel

Description:

There are a few of them that live in the neighborhood, as it is an ideal habitat for them. I sometimes see the squirrels chasing each other around the pine trees, and most often I see them sitting on fence posts as shown here.

Habitat:

Neighborhood with lots of pasture, pine, and oak with very little underbrush.

Notes:

Considered a species of special concern and is protected. This subspecies is only in Florida.
