My Favorite Animals

Squirrels are my most favorite animal in the world. Which honestly, is a somewhat new development! I hadn't really had a favorite animal since I was a kid and was into zebras.

In 2020 I became hyperfocused on my yard squirrels, and squirrel "celebrities." They slowly have turned into my absolute favorite animal ever. I mean, just LOOK at a squirrel. Any of them. Literally so cute. They are good little friends and really need more love than they get.

Sure, maybe they sleep in the walls and eat your wires sometimes. But when you have a bunch of babies sitting outside your window, right on their little squirrel butts, it really isn't ALL that bad!

This page is absolutely under construction. I will be adding some personal squirrel photos, my squirrel collection in real life, and random squirrel things I find around the internet.
