Our New Specimen!

We have a new specimen from the Museum of Nature in our classroom. We have a super adorable little Columbian Ground Squirrel.

When this new friend arrived, I knew I recognized him.

When I went to California with my husband, Matt, two summers ago, we went to see wild elephant seals and all over the parking lot were super friendly ground squirrels.

This is my husband, Matt and a Columbian Ground Squirrel in California. I like that they're both doing the same pose. They made Matt a little nervous!

To see photos of them in action, check out my flickr album!
