Rock Squirrel — Image by kenne
This particular rock squirrel seems to prefer the view from a dead tree in Catalina State Park. When first spotted, it was about fifty yards away and because of its size we thought it might be a cat. Moving in closer we could better tell it was not a cat, but a very large squirrel. The body was at least a foot in length with a tail equally as long, making it over two feet from head to tail — we was impressed!

Wow! What are you feeding these giants in Arizona? I never saw such a huge squirrel.
Seriously, at first glance it was hard to believe it was a squirrel.
and really nice color composition!
