Adorable Squirrel Smelling a Flower

Penguin here.

After a snowstorm that came along a few days ago, we are finally seeing some true Spring weather here now. When I stumbled upon this adorable picture, I realized that it represented just how much we all appreciate Spring, and felt that it was the perfect picture to post in honour of the warmer weather. Not only do we appreciate it, but so do all the animals. Enjoy the newly-budding flowers, goofy animals (like this squirrel) and the birds chirping: all welcome signs of this beautiful season.

Super Duper Secret Agent Squirrel

Mar 232013

Hey everyone. I entitled this post “super duper secret agent squirrel” because of the music, but in reality, this video is more or less just a day in the life of an urban squirrel. If you watch them, they will do incredible acrobatics to get from one place to another. They are adorable little guys, but they’re also exceptionally agile. This guy here demonstrates the incredible lengths to which a squirrel will go just to get some yummy food:

The video was posted by the user “Nakei Done” on Youtube on October 10th 2010 (I don’t know how we hadn’t seen it sooner!)

Blue Bear and Penguin here.

We stumbled upon this adorable article on buzzfeed which you can see in its full splendor here. There seemed to be a controversy over whether the cutie in question was a chipmunk or a squirrel. We see how the markings on his/her back could make this a confusing subject, but this is in fact a gold-mantled ground squirrel and an unbelievably adorable one at that!

Check out how absolutely adorable this little flying squirrel is – not only because he’s an adorable animal, but also because he’s in style and being environmentally-friendly while doing so. Seriously, can you find a more organic hat than an acorn? Didn’t think so!

A special thanks to my sister for inspiring this post.

Check out my stylish environmentally-friendly hat!

Adorable Black Squirrel Eating a Peanut

This morning, while walking to work, I saw a black squirrel! I’d seen this little guy before. He lives on a particular block in my neighborhood and can often be seen in that area. You often see grey squirrels where I’m from, but black ones are significantly less common. I didn’t have my camera with me to take a picture of the guy I saw, but I found an excellent, adorable picture on google to share with you guys. Apparently black squirrels are the same species as normal “eastern grey squirrels”, and this kind of coloration happens to be more common in urban areas. Neat! Check it out!

Om Nom Nom! Peanuts are yummy!

I opened my email this morning to be surprised by an email from my friend with the subject line “CUTE ANIMALS!!” She was absolutely right. Aren’t these baby round-tailed squirrels the cutest little guys to wake up to? Don’t they make an adorable tiny family? Look at their adorably large feet! A special thanks to my friend for a sweet email and a great image to share on ACAD.

These little munchkins make me swoon!

Penguin here.

Today I went into my kitchen to pick up a small snack when I noticed a squirrel on the wire in my backyard eating something big and white. I immediately grabbed my camera and zoomed it in as far as possible. Lo and behold, I discovered our little carbohydrate-eating friend munching on one of my personal favourite foods: bread!

I’m posting a few of these pictures here. I hope you enjoy.

Hi everyone. Sorry about the lack of posts this week on my end. I hope that this picture will make it up to you guys. So here you go, we have a giraffe licking a squirrel! I’m just as surprised as you are. I really don’t know why this giraffe is licking a squirrel – whether it’s kissing it, trying to clean it, or just being goofy. Either way, it doesn’t really matter because it makes for an adorable picture!
According to San Diego zoo’s Animal Bytes, the giraffe, the tallest land animal, has a tongue that is 18 to 20 inches (46 to 50 centimeters) in length and a heart that is 2 feet long! You should definitely check out the article to get some more interesting facts about these amazing animals.
So that’s all for now! I hope you guys get a nice little kiss from a friend today like this little squirrel did.

You taste...furry!

ACAD Special Post: A Squirrel Story in Pictures

Penguin here.

About a month ago, I was in the backyard with my sister. The plan was to find some of the cardinals that live nearby and finally take pictures of them. Instead, we caught a funny and adorable squirrel doing some really goofy things. The best part of it is that we managed to catch him doing these goofy things on camera!

This is a very special ACAD post. It is a riveting tale of eating, eating, acrobatics and, well, more eating. More importantly, it is a tale of an adorable squirrel and much cuteness which is why it belongs here on ACAD!

So here you go! Enjoy!

Yum! Yum! I've caught myself a fine apple!

Still munching on that apple!

Crunch! Crunch! This is gourmet cuisine!

Half of the squirrel's apple fell. He turned to see where it went, but then decided it was just better to savour what he had left.

Oh no! Not the other half too!

I guess this means I'll have to use my special squirrel acrobat skills to go after it...

I'm sure that apple is here somewhere...

For all of you ACAD fans out there, just so you know, this squirrel found many more apples. I saw this squirrel travel along that wire several times over the summer with a tasty apple in his mouth.
