Rodent:Squirrel

Squirrel is cute. This rodent belongs to the family of Sciuridae which includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots (including woodchucks), flying squirrels, and prairie dogs.This animal breed once or twice a year, and give birth after three to six weeks. The young are born naked, toothless, helpless, and blind. Ground dwelling squirrels are generally social animals that is why this particular squirrel is not afraid of me. It even poses fro me, LOL!It is living in well-developed colonies, but the tree-dwelling species are more solitary.
This is a ground squirrel who is not afraid of people definitely.
