The Giant Again.....

I think it's about time I show you some more shots and a video I managed of the Grizzled Giant Squirrel/. Don't forget to check the video,he was so close to me when I was shooting that I could almost touch him!

    Great shots! Biologically, I've only heard the term grizzled in the context of bears - having seen many of those here in Canada it fits well here too!
