Kaibab Squirrel

Kaibab Squirrel
William took this picture.

We are now at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Wm woke me up about 7:15 this morning to point out a rare Kaibab Squirrel right outside the window. They are elusive and very cute tassel eared squirrels. They have long furry pointed ears, dark grey bellies and fluffy snow white tails. This is the only place in the world where they live. People have asked us all day, if we have seen one and we can truthfully say yes!

This is a very beautiful squirrel.....you are lucky to have them in that part of the country. There are numerous tassel-eared squirrels throughout the U.S. but this fellow is truly unique. Nice photo!
