Do you like squirrels?

What do you think about these furry, agile rodents?

For me they tend to look really cute. For me they are among the most beautiful animals on Earth.

I like them. They're fun to watch.

Some people say they're nothing but rats with bushy tails, but I really don't get it because they're really cute little critters. To watch in the wild anyway, I don't think they'd make good pets.

And chipmunks are especially cute, but I don't see them as often as the little reddish brown ones. When I was a kid we spent the summer at a campground where they all over the place. I think it was because a lot of campers were feeding them even though you're not supposed to do that, but it was so fun watching them. One time I was outside eating a Crunchy chocolate bar and a chunk of it fell on the ground, and then a squirrel ran down from a tree, picked it up and started munching away. You'd they'd prefer a chocolate bar with nuts in it.

Chipmunks are cute, I agree. Smaller than Sciurus vulgaris or Sciurus carolinensis, less "arboreal", with hamster-like chicks (bag pounches) and light stripes. In my country there are no wild chipmunks.

I personally like them.

My dentist actually built this whole feeding area for them, with a deck and everything.

They're fun to watch through the window, especially since I don't like the dentist.

I think they are adorable. And fluffy.

There used to be a nest of squirrels in my backyard. They were fun to watch.

I believe there were actually multiple generations of squirrels. We had names for all of them.
