Loook.. SQUIRREL!!

Dusty was it you who sent all those illegal immigrant squirrels out west?

From the BC SPCA

The most common squirrel in urban B.C., the Eastern Grey Squirrel, is actually an import from eastern Canada which was released into Stanley Park in 1909.

They were then introduced to Vancouver Island in 1966. Eastern Grey Squirrels are much larger than native squirrels, are either grey or black in colour, and flourish in urban environments.

The increasing number of Eastern Grey Squirrels is often blamed for the decrease in native squirrel populations, however given that these squirrels have different food and shelter preferences, its more likely that urban development and the loss of coniferous forests is responsible.

Red Squirrels and Douglas Squirrels are our native tree squirrels and are approximately the same size (about half the size of Eastern Grey Squirrels).

The Red Squirrel is just that, rusty-red in colour with white underparts, whereas its cousin the Douglas Squirrel is reddish-brown with yellow underparts.

Both are adapted to a life in coniferous forests but the Douglas Squirrel is found only on B.C.'s southern coast, whereas the Red Squirrel is absent here but found virtually everywhere else in B.C.

The Douglas Squirrel are really small compared to the illegal ones from out east. They are also very territorial and if one of the foreign squirrels gets to close you would think the larger ones would just take over but that isn't true. These little guys beat the crap out of the foreign ones as I have seen it

Time for a morning coffee, to celebrate hitting the four month mark since the initial order was placed!

It would be hard to prove I didn't do it, except for the fact that I wasn't born yet in either of those years.

must have been in your prior life then, dusty!

Most likely, although one would have hoped that I did not migrate to one of the coldest countries on the planet, in multiple lifetimes. Can I leave a note to self for my next iteration, to maybe pick the caribbean or something?!

Ahh yes, the Squirrimoose found in the remote badlands of Cape Breton Island. I think I was chased by one of those once. He was after my nuts..

In cheesehead land, we run in fear of these:


Funny thing is, my family had my 22 year old sister believing that jackalopes are real for about 20 minutes.

Kinda undermines the "man's best friend" concept.
