I guess these are from about a year ago.
Don't mind my retardedness, I have to try to get him to do stuff on camera by talking dopily to him.
Saw this little dewd at Balmorhea State Park in Toyahvale, TX too. Turns out he is a Mexican Ground Squirrel. Aieeeee muy Qte!! He was playin wif me. I'm just gonna post em all because the sequence is cute. Of course I used the zoom, I wasn't that close, but still he was a bit curious about me. Also, I deleted the first pic I took, which showed a little bit of his tail at the opening of his burrow, which is how I knew he was in there.
I realize I went a little nutso on the pics but I wasn't gonna quit snapping while he was letting me, and I didn't want to deny anyone of teh qte. He looks like what would happen if a regular gray squirrel and a chipmunk got together.
