I really love how funny squirrels are. Like in these observations: [Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from Fairy Lake, Newmarket, ON, Canada on September 12, 2026 at 03:22 PM by soap-and\_downy-wasp · iNaturalist](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/399707404) [Eastern Gray Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from Henderson Drive, Aurora on May 19, 2025 at 04:01 PM by soap-and\_downy-wasp.

I don’t have a picture, but I was almost late for work once because I was mesmerized and delighted by a squirrel chasing a leaf in a parking lot. It would pounce on it, release it, let the breeze pick it up, and then pounce again. I had no idea a squirrel would do that. ---

This Rock Squirrel – a species of ground squirrel – is as agile as any tree squirrel in getting into a tube feeder full of seed. [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/243800719](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/243800719) We don’t have tree squirrels in my area and these squirrels fill that feeder-raiding niche. ---

Even for an area where summers can be hot, we were having an unusually bad heatwave. This pic said it for all of us. ![Screenshot 2026-09-14 at 5.19.16 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/inaturalist/original/3X/4/3/43f1b349621cfb88000a447b5bb11f39e7ab1178.jpeg) [https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/390158001](https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/390158001) ---

Are you sure that wasn’t just because it was Monday? ---

Squirrels are called squirrels, not Garfield.
