they are cute. I thought sometimes they look like Meerkuts when they stand upright. Rattlesnakes and predators prefer eating them before they are one year old. After they turn 1.they develop an enzyme which makes it difficult to digest them.

I liked the posture of this cute squirrel, looks like a small kangaroo or wallaby
