 Squirrels, you say? :haw:







These are just crappy P&S pics, and sorry for the weird colours on that last one, apparently the camera was dying.

Good lord. Is this a pet or is this guy just used to being fed trail snacks all the time?

Totally used to it. This particular summit is the closest to a major city and easy to do, so it get tons of traffic. This day saw over 50 people make the summit.

Hilariously, we weren't even feeding him; he just forced himself on us, expecting treats.

I'm pretty sure those are chipmunks.

Chipmunks are much smaller and have pointed little noses. But the GMGS's have the same colour pattern, so it's easy to confuse them!

Here's a bunch of awesome animals I saw in Bako National Park, Borneo, Malaysia on May 14. We were there to study and have lectures on biodiversity, and I have to say that there's really no better place to do it. We arrived mid-morning to the park by boat.

A couple bonus shots:

This guy was filming a documentary for National Geographic, it's supposed to be Planet Earth style. So in the future, you see a NG doc featuring a ton of mudskippers, remember that I was there!


Kuching Kucing by Trips in the Rockies, on Flickr
The city of Kuching, Malaysia has cat monuments and statues all over the place. The Malay word for cat is "kucing", so the city adopted cats as their mascot.

 With some research, I agree with you. Apparently they're more commonly known as silver leaf monkeys. My guides were 100% saying silverlight, but I should probably change it.

Columbian Ground Squirrel by Geographic Ecotourist, on Flickr

There are tons of these guys in the alpine meadows of the Canadian Rockies, in certain areas it's not unreasonable to see hundreds.

Just back from an awesome 14-day safari in Kenya. I had plans to edit a bunch of shots today but I can barely keep my eyes open, so for now here's a fun shot:


This is so amazing. I love it.
