Canadian Red Squirrel

Tamiasciurus hudsonicus

Description:

Easily distinguishable. Smaller size, territorial behavior and reddish fur with a white center. Larger then a chipmunck.

Habitat:

Trees. Any tree.

Notes:

Fearless little guys. Really territorial. They'll chase a much larger grey squirrel away from anything. Some people think they're pests, and I can't say I don't, but still, quite cute when they are raising young. This one was born in the tree right in front of my picture window. My wife and I watched it's first step. So to speak.
