Even Africa has squirrels. In this case, the unstriped ground squirrel from Samburu National Reserve in Kenya. Apparently, all the other ground squirrels in the area have some form of stripes. This guy, clearly none. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 300mm) ISO 400, f/4 at 1/400th of a second.

That rodent looks more like a weasel-squirrel cross.
Now I see what inspired the stance of the Geico gecko! So cute.
He looks like he wants to ask me if I know where he can buy some weed, but he’s too shy to do so.
Even there can’t get away from them your picture shows ever hair on the body. & features very sharp

Does he think he’s a meerkat?
I love the squirrel’s stance – almost human like!
