He looks like he should have an eye spectacle, he is so refined and respectful.

I am *so* jealous - none of my squirrelees have ear tufts!

I have herds of squirrels - zippy black ones, leetle red ones, fatty brown ones - but *no* ear tufts!

Luvin those tufts...my sources say that you can have scurries or drays (not herds) of squirrels. Anyone know why a "dray"?

it seems that squirrels are as respectful as bunnies are dissaproving! anerable.

so what kind of squirrels are these, and where can I get one for a pet?

Heck with the ear tufts, those leetle toes are killing me.

I wonder if he has time for a pedicure?

Kar
 |  May 23, 2007 at 08:11 AM

I loff how his tufts are blurred, like they are blowing in the wind. He is like a squirrel super model. The Breck Squirrel.

i want to give him a peanut butter croissant.

Meg! You are KEEEEELING me with these tufty-eared skwerls!
Thank you.

Redzilla
 |  May 23, 2007 at 08:18 AM

the white belly, the dainty paws, the beady eyes, the swept back tufts . . . what a gentleman!!!

(Though his ear tufts do remind me of Wolverine's sideburns or jowls or whatevah they are . . . )

SQUEEEEE!
Darn it!
TOO QTE.

What kind of special critter is this?! I've never seen a squirrel with ear tufts!

I find the fat grey squirrels at the local park have more "attitude" than the black or the bitty red ones. They walk towards you like "You wanna piece of me, human?!"

I WANT I WANT I WANT!!!

This little guy is tewtally all "Beggin' ur pardon, but please, suh, might I 'ave some mo'e?"

SeaBreeze
 |  May 23, 2007 at 08:44 AM

He is obviously British with that well mannered reticent approach. "I am awfully sorry to bother you but would you mind terribly if I asked for a nut or some such comestible, that would be jolly kind of you"

The feet! The little feets are soooo long! hahhaah!

katie
 |  May 23, 2007 at 08:58 AM

Now *that's* a British red skwerl! :D

I fancy that the first Mr Ear Tufts is some other kind, possibly a new species... "tuftius maximus"...

Kate

"Son of Squabbit"

What is UP with the 'properness' of these squirrels? How can they just look like that and .. and.. get away with it? His feeets.. omg.

Golden
 |  May 23, 2007 at 09:24 AM

ezreader: I've only ever heard 'dray' or 'drey' used to describe the nest of the squirrel... thank goodness for reading Redwall novels when I was younger! I'm not sure where that comes from, though. Sorry!

And AW. This little guy totally made my day. I wish we had little tufty-eared 'squiddles' here.

Kitten
 |  May 23, 2007 at 09:42 AM

Squirrel Nutkin, replete in his burnished copper and brown coat, and sporting the latest in proper British squirrel buzz-earcuts. His liquid eyes and little nosicle hesitantly surveying everything around him; so precious!

ThreeCatNight
 |  May 23, 2007 at 09:48 AM

He definently needs some specs and a little waist-coat, ala beatrix potter.

Anyone ever read The Tailor of Gloucester? That is my favorite.

 |  May 23, 2007 at 10:17 AM

And this is why there should be non L0Limals on CO. MEg is too cute n' funny. If this were on icanhas... it would be all, "I can haz a nutzzz" or "Invizibul muzik stand" or something.

Have we discussed the proshness of the delicately illuminated whiskers?

Ivy
 |  May 23, 2007 at 10:21 AM

Please suh, if it isn't ever so much bother, would you mind awfully if there were to be MORE SQUIRRELS I WANT I WANT I WANT GIMME SQUIRRELS NOW!!!! if you have a moment at some point in the future? I should be terribly grateful.

Loris
 |  May 23, 2007 at 10:22 AM

Oh, and my favorite is Hunka Munka and the Tale of 2 Bad Mice. I have always wanted to start a band called Punkamunka.

Ivy
 |  May 23, 2007 at 10:23 AM

I love it. the squirrel is funny looking.

Shannon Johnson
 |  May 23, 2007 at 10:28 AM

You all described him to a T. I never see proper looking squirrels in my yard. Just the silly ones running from one tree to another looking for them nuts.

 |  May 23, 2007 at 10:32 AM

DUDE, CAN WE GET A C.O.X.C.U. ON THE FEETS, PLEASE!1!

 |  May 23, 2007 at 10:52 AM

If you hover on the closeup, the text says "schnozzle zoom" I love it.

I can't get over the color of these guys! As a redhead I admire their amber glow. I'm a nerd.

Nice Christine
 |  May 23, 2007 at 11:01 AM

I cannot wait until I'm in Britain and can admire tufty eared squirrels :)

I love ear tufts.

R. Moore
 |  May 23, 2007 at 11:09 AM

LOL- only it should be Punkamunka and the Bad Mice!

Beatrix Potter's Squirrel Nutkin in the flesh/fur.

What a cute lil monster!

Holly
 |  May 23, 2007 at 11:38 AM

I shall name him Rusty and he shall be mine. Seriously though, I think he's looking at a peanut or something equally tasty because he IS SMILING!!!!

Nat
 |  May 23, 2007 at 12:10 PM

Ha! The squirrels where I live are *not* respectful!

Theresa
 |  May 23, 2007 at 12:15 PM

If you like this one you should come to Scandinavia. We have lots of them here! :) Actually the ear tufts on this one aren't that long. They can easily be twice as long. Totally adorable! And the babies! Awww. Cuter even than kitties (and I LOVE cats).

Anna
 |  May 23, 2007 at 01:37 PM

Aw, him long, red widdle toesies! Wanna squeeze 'em twixt me forefinger and thumb. He prolly wouldn't like that, though, so I'll just worship him from afar.

pat_the_bunny
 |  May 23, 2007 at 01:44 PM

Um, note curled paw action here. And the little smiley muzzlepuff. Definitely a head-sploder.

His widdle face is the cutie-patootie-est EVER!!! Not to mention his demure widdle hands.

MORE SQUIRRELS!

 |  May 23, 2007 at 04:07 PM

OMG ceejoe! A group of owls is called parliament!

Or is that *a* parliament?

Or maybe I'll just call them the p-funk allstars.
