Raccoon

This guy scuttled quickly up a tree when I came along and then quite literally threw himself down along the length of this branch, held on tight, and kept as still as could be. Pretty good camouflage really, because I probably wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't first seen him climb.

Canon PowerShot SX20 IS
1/60s f/7.1 at 100.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Cute little guy. He does know how to keep a low profile. V.

Always a clown. I've seen them freeze like this before. Instincts are amazing. Great catch!!!

They are funny little guys! They can destroy a bird feeder in just a couple of minutes!

I thought this was a koala by the thumbnail.

He would think he is still so he does not exist, so do our squirrels when danger threatens.
Great picture! V+

This is cute. I haven't seen one since my last visit to USA. I didn't know they climbed trees. v

Little sweetie. I love to spot them sleeping high up in pine trees.
