Bushy-tailed

I used to hate squirrels. They would systematically gang up on me and attack me. One flew at me from a garbage can when I was in college. It grazed my head. Another darted out in front of my path and I tripped on it and fell, and skinned my knee. This was only a few years ago.

Now, I kind of like them. They are cute. And now some important research is underway to try and understand the little bastards. This picture is from here, a site by two people with more time on their hands than even I have.
