Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/A common squirrel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - A squirrel is small or medium-sized rodents in the family Sciuridae. They are generally clever and persistent animals. In residential neighborhoods, they are notorious for eating out of bird feeders, digging in planting pots and flower beds to pull out bulbs which they chew on or to either bury or recover seeds and nuts and for inhabiting sheltered areas including attics and basements. Despite periodic complaints about the animal as a pest, general public opinion towards the animal is favorable, thanks to its agreeable appearance, intelligence and its eating styles and habits.

Mhh... It doesn’t seem to have many toes on the ground, only the heels, indeed seems to be a bit of an unnatural (not so alive) balancing technique for a sitting position like that. --Van helsing (talk) 10:39, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Support- A very well done image. But, I'm not completely sure its one of the best out there. ~~Meldshal42 (talk) 10:48, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
