It is not a secret that these photos of red squirrels can be easily taken in the big-city parks. When I was observing squirrels in the forest, I couldn’t approach them too closely to take an anatomical photo of this animal. Not to mention the speed with which they move, causing many difficulties with focus settings. The problem with squirrels living in parks is that they became so bold that if they don’t get a peanut, they may even bite you. It is unpleasant but it could be also dangerous and you always have to remember about it. I have seen squirrels which jumped on people in order to get some food. I also had a squirrel on my leg several times. Unfortunately they didn’t like the grain I brought for birds.

I’ve uploaded a few photos of squirrels, taken in the morning in a town called Karasiok. They weren’t afraid of me at all.
