Cute and furry

posted by Paul
These cute and furry creatures are plentiful in the Cape Town area. Yes ladies, squirrels look sweet and playful, but beware - they can be vicious. This one was blending in to the oak tree so well that I nearly missed it being there. I fortunately managed to escape its ambush through a series of carefully placed side-steps. Can you see how his dark and beady eye is following my every move? I'm normally much braver than this, really...

squirrels -- tree rats my wife calls them -- they ate our daffodils two years back but they've grown again.

They bite!! My friend got bitten by one when trying to feed it. A trip to the ER ensued.
