Bug-Eyed Squirrel’s First Contact with Outside World


Bug-Eyed Squirrel’s First Contact with Outside World



Photographer Eirini Pajak snapped these curious alien-looking youngster and its siblings close to his home inFlorence, Arizona, US.
These bug-eyed life forms are actually wide-eyed baby squirrels checking out their surroundings after being let out of the safety of the burrow for the first time.

The sociable round-tailed ground squirrels usually live in small colonies, going in to temporary hibernation in burrows during the winter months.

When it gets warmer, mothers emerge first, checking the surroundings for predators before calling the youngsters out to feed on vegetation.

They look like little fluffy sausages.
