Squirrels

Art and photography, stories, information and humor about the Eastern Gray Squirrel and the backyard nature experience.
Tree Mastery. Squirrel photo by Rybird I think squirrels developed cute as a means of survival by making the predador feel guilty for harming such a happy creature. :)

Got it made in the shade.  Easter Gray Squirrel rests and lays low while watching a cat in the distance. Laying close to the limb is a means of protection as well as rest.

"Conservation is a state of harmony between men and land. By land is meant all of the things on, over, or in the earth. Harmony with land is like harmony with a friend; you cannot cherish his right hand and chop off his left. That is to say, you cannot love game and hate predators; you cannot conserve the waters and
waste the ranges; you cannot build the forest and mine the farm. The land is one organism. Its parts, like our own parts, compete with each other and co-operate with each other. The competitions are as much a part of the inner workings as
the co-operations. You can regulate them—cautiously—but not abolish them. The outstanding scientific discovery of the twentieth century is not television, or radio, but rather the complexity of the land organism. Only those who know the
most about it can appreciate how little we know about it. The last word in ignorance is the man who says of an animal or plant: "What good is it?" If the land mechanism as a whole is good, then every part is good, whether we understand it or not. If the biota, in the course of aeons, has built something we
like but do not understand, then who but a fool would discard seemingly useless parts? To keep every cog and wheel is the first precaution of intelligent tinkering."
 Aldo Leopold

​ 41 million squirrels are killed by motor vehicles in the United States annually.
Marc Bekoff states that "our insulated industrialized culture keeps us disconnected from life beyond our windshields."Driving "mindlessly" without paying attention to the movements of others in the vehicle's path, driving at speeds that don't allow stopping, and distractions contribute to the death toll. Moreover, a culture of indifference and hopelessness is created if people learn to ignore lifeless bodies on roads."Animals and cars: One million animals are killed on our roads every day", Marc Bekoff, Psychology Today, July 21, 2010.
