rofl that was too cute. I loved how it ran around like it owned the place. Not to mention how it kept laying down.

That was so cute. He was a smart little guy, acting like roadkill
I just got a bit worried when they started to get him with the rakes. That's just inhumane. Leave the little critter alone.

I thought it was cute when the squirrel started GI Joe walk across the path and flick his tail to the camera as if to say, "You can't see me!"

All I could think when the little guy flipped his tail over his head was that it looked like Donald Trump and his ever-fashionable comb-over. Go Donald Sqump!

He looks better on the field than my Detroit Tigers.

He probably would not cost as much either...probably just a couple bags of nuts...

I'd like to volunteer Donald Trumps bags, but alas, I can't. Nuts.

So cute! That thing its doing when lying flat and covering itself with the tail - is that really a method of hiding?

ADORABLE! Maybe they should keep a dog around from now on?

Oh- and Desert, I can answer your question- It's a method of cooling off. Most rodents do it, esp. meerkats. The ground is often far cooler then hot air, and they spread out to help conduction occur faster. I'm sure after being chased around in the sun, he was quite exhausted.

That was too freakin' cute. Drove my boyfriend crazy giggling over this.

Thanks for the exp. Herp, cuz I was wondering that same thing. We've got TONS of squirrels around here, and I love to sit outside during my lunch and feed them, but I've NEVER seen them do that! It was hilarious. LOL
