Description
“Eddie” is an American red squirrel. Unlike hulking two-pound, 18-inch gray squirrels, reds -- called “boomers” in the mountains -- are about 8 inches long and weigh barely 8 ounces. They have strong hind legs and curved claws that help them ably climb. They they are extremely speedy. If fact, mountain folk say reds can snag a pine cone from a tree branch and be waiting on the ground by the time it falls.They can also swim.
Despite their diminutive size, red squirrels are brave, brazen, and don’t mind barking and chattering at you if you try to chase them away. In fact, they can “bark” at you for more than an hour if you really irritate them. Eddie is our favorite rodent because he always looks like he is about to get into mischief.
