Sherman Takes a Stand: This old man challenged me when I went out to get the mail this afternoon. I think he was showing off for his girlfriend who was in another tree close by.

I've never seen one and never even heard of one which is remarkable because I used to be a Wildlife Officer.

The Sherman's Fox Squirrel is endangered in this area of FL. We are lucky to have lots of them on or around our property. They are about 2' long with a long "foxy" tail; quite comical to watch.
Rumor has it that Gen. Sherman saw these guys and dubbed them in honor of his own moniker. True? Who knows!

Amazing captures!
