Gray Squirrel by Robert Bateman

Gray Squirrel by Robert Bateman. Sciurus carolinensis.

 

"One of the gray squirrel's favorite trees is the American beech, which produces an abundant harvest of sharp-cornered beechnuts. These are gathered by the squirrel and often stored or buried which often seems less productive for the squirrel than for the perpetuation of beech trees." - Robert Bateman.
