Photograph of a gray squirrel standing on a scrubby lawn with a brown, fallen leaves surrounding it including one in front of its front legs. The squirrel is in profile, facing right, sitting on its back paws and standing on its front paws with its tail pulled up and curled backward. It may be in the process of hiding stores for the winter and may be probing the soft soil under the leaf for digging a small hole. Grey squirrels have grey and brown fur with white abdomen and chest fur, a long bushy tail, a triangular head with dark eyes, proportionally large ears, a typical rodent muzzle, long, black whiskers, hand-like fore paws, and claws that allow the squirrel to cling to vertical surfaces.
