Rock Squirrels

Otospermophilus variegatus

Description:

I swear, there was at least one squirrel adorning the front of every exhibit in our local Reid Park Zoo (or could it be the same exact one following me to photobomb a few shots?).

Habitat:

If they're not all over the zoo eating this and that, they are often found in Reid Park as well, hurrying about here and there.

Notes:

Really fun to photograph as they have no fear of humans near. But that could also be because they're more focused on their hunger.
