Squirrel in the Woods

I entered Fish Creek Park and was immediately greeted by its spokes-squirrel. Usually I have to make some sort of noises to get them to pay attention to me around my neighborhood. This one was different; I could tell he was more curious, and instead of just running off, it was actually like he was trying to welcome me to the forest. I don't often see this color of fur either; most of my neighborhood ones are darker brown, black, or more grey. This tale really stood out and had an interesting multicolored pattern to it.
