That is one fat squirrel.

They have to get fat during the fall to survive the winter. They also grow a thicker winter fur to give some warmth.

Delightful photos, Antti!

Bitter cold?? Been there and done that. But those scenes belong on Christmas cards, not in my back yard, thanks you.

The south is where I need to be.

Thanks.

Only -14? Sounds balmy to me.

Have fun Milko.

I loved your pristine photos. Thanks for sharing them. I do worry since you didn't mention Eric. Is his fur thick? Has he survived that frigid weather? How does he handle the cold? Hope he is well. Happy New Year to you and possibly to Eric.

That explains what happens to me in winter. I've got fur coming out of my ears.

Cool pictures.

Thanks for asking, he's ok. Eric's fur is not very thick, but he sure does have that fat layer keeping him warm!
