Squirrel Sunday....

Why Squirrels don't go get pedicures or have their nails clipped.Diagnosing the problem.....
...No problem!
He hung like this for at least 15 minutes without resting those toes!
(I apologize for the quality of these, but I had to shoot through our curved plexiglass skylights)


Does this look comfortable??????
This is why I figure they deserve all they can get.....they work so hard for it!
Ann at Moseplasse has her cute little squirrel peeping out of the snow today. I like his ear tufts.

When you're that hungry, you will do most anything, and apparently he has been practicing this toe hold thing allot!
LOL.

Becky: It looks like it would hurt a lot to me!

Ouch... Looks like it would hurt!!!! Wonder how strong the tail is --and whether it may helping hold him or not. Goodness--they are persistent little guys, aren't they?????

Cute video... Amazing!!! Did you see him get off??? I can't imagine how he could get back up from that position.

Have a great day.
Hugs,
Betsy

That squirrel surely is agile!

George said...

Okay, I guess they deserve everything they can get after working to get in this position.

Dorothy said...

Mary, you have the cutest squirrel pictures!! They are so determined to get what they want.

Kim said...

LOL! Great pictures. I am convinced squirrels can do anything they want if they set their mind to it!

Mary said...

Thanks everyone! Just think what great abs this little guy has to keep up that postion and bending to and from the seeds. Seems like they would burn more calories then they consume! Helen is right....they keep me buying lots of seeds :-)

You have the most entertaining squirrels in your yard. Don't you wish you could hang by your toes like that? :-D

Mary: Those squirrels can get into the dardest positions.

Mary said...

Thanks....they have to be in tremendous shape with stomach muscles that allow them to bob up and down while hanging in precarious positions. They grab the food with their teeth and then use their paws to help hold it...seems even harder when I think about that.
