Wild Animals of North America

Abert's Squirrel (Sciurus aberti) and Kaibab Squirrel (Sciurus aberti kaibabensis) are competing for best ear tufts! Abert’s Squirrels lose their ear tufts and winter coats in the summer, and their favorite foods come from the Ponderosa pine trees. Kaibab Squirrels live only on the Kaibab Plateau of the Grand Canyon, and they are afforded strict protection because of their small habitat. They became separated from the Abert’s Squirrels, their closest relative, as the Grand Canyon developed. Learn more about Abert’s Squirrels and Kaibab Squirrels thanks to the National Park Service.

This week’s book feature is Wild Animals of North America (c1918) by Edward William Nelson, with illustrations by Louis Agassiz Fuertes. A complete digital copy of this work is in Biodiversity Heritage Library with thanks to American Museum of Natural History Library (@amnhnyc), who contributed it for digitization.

When your photography subject decides to to come check you out it makes for good shots but it’s also kind of scary. Haha.

Snow on Stuff: Abert's squirrel (Sciurus aberti), on McMillan Mesa in Flagstaff, Arizona. Please click photo to enlarge.

These squirrels are now decked out in thick winter coats, with stiff ruddy guard hairs on their backs, and insulating tassels in their ears. They look much fluffier and better padded than they did over the summer.
