Notes: |
|
The morning was very cold - 4 degrees Celsius - and the squirrels were fluffed out to the maximum to keep warm.
Note in the second photo the proximity between squirrels on the left and mongooses on the right. Although I watched them for almost one hour, neither seemed much bothered by the other. |
