Richardson's ground squirrel. Cute little fellow. There's a lot of them living near the Franklin LRT. I was thinking of taking a picture of them as well when it gets nice enough. I haven't seen any yet. I think Balzac Billy saw his shadow

Aw, he's cute. Reminds me of the Quokkas on Rottnest Island.
Nice shot

No worries.
You should google "Quokka" if you've never heard of them before - they're amusing little critters.

Yeah - they're mostly native to a small island off the coast (Rottnest). They're pretty friendly.

Yeah, lots of people pet them - you're not allowed to pick them up or anything, though.

Thank you!
I used a bit of a zoom, but not much because that zoom isn't great.

Theres a park by my house that people usually take picnics and stuff there..And leave food that they didn't eat.
The gophers are sooo fat, I guess thats probably why.

I used to live in Calgary up until about two years ago. I love it here in Ontario but there's nothing like home. How is everything up there?
