This squirrel seems to have a very strange grin on his face, and it’s not too terribly hard to see why. Holy crap, look at what he’s got dragging behind him! The dogs in the park are going to be jealous of this well endowed sciurine, let alone the other male squirrels who know they stand no chance with the ladies as long as Balzac’s on the prowl! There’s a general lack of genitalia in my squirrel photos simply because they very rarely have it all hanging out like this…. but who can blame this guy for wanting to show off the jewels? I just hope those things don’t chafe on the ground…
I looked at the wrong end of the squirrel first … but the penny dropped LOL
Yeah, he might be carrying nuts in both ends….
👑 Jewels indeed. Long live the king.
He really needs a jewel box to keep them in, or they’re going to need more than just polished…
His nuts are going to be squirrel paste if he doesn’t get out of the middle of the road.
I don’t know….. they might serve as effective bumpers.
He kind of looks like maybe it’s not so comfortable lugging those big things around but maybe it’s just that squirrels look odd when they walk rather than hop.
It HAS to be uncomfortable walking around with those things almost dragging the ground! I wince a bit just looking at that picture! I’d imagine they don’t feel any better banging around on tree bark either…
Gosh – talk about carrying excess baggage……….!

Too much of a good thing is not always a good thing!
Mating season??
Yes! Supposedly the only time it’s so apparently visible. The squirrel I featured Thursday was from the same day I took this picture, and he too is packing extra…
