The River Otter came back to my pond in Texas this week. I was better prepared.
I don't think there is any solution to the squirrel problemNot a thread I have ever posted in. Here though is a shot from yesterday evening in the warm setting sun of a squirrel eating beech nuts in one of my trees. It's one of the US invading grey squirrels, and as cute as they are I don't like them as they forage birds nests. R7/700mm.

US animal imperialism!I don't think there is any solution to the squirrel problem
I'm kind of puzzled by the number of tails there?! Are you sure they are only three?These three were are conspiring to invade Asia, too! Stop AI OS(American Imperialism Of Squirrels)!

it was a confusing mess of tails wasn't it? I looked back at the other photos from the series it's only the three. The tail of the one on the small branch is first visible above it's back moving slightly to the left before abruptly curving to the right. The squirrel behind it on the larger branch's tail is in s "3" shape, but with the the top left part continuing almost like a duck bill in a 30 degree angle to the upper left.I'm kind of puzzled by the number of tails there?!

I have no idea about predators but you just proved it does confuse the photogs !it was a confusing mess of tails wasn't it? I looked back at the other photos from the series it's only the three.

Maybe those long and flexible tails give some advantage with confusing predators?
