Playing I Spy on campus with the superzoom the other day. #HelloSmallMammal
@handmade_ghost that's a little on the nose, don't you think? šŸ˜
@handmade_ghost Trapezoidal head.

@handmade_ghost

In the snuffling furriness
Of the trapozoidal head
Runs on waddling cuteness
Hoping to be fed

@jerzone Trying to fit in with the geometry of the nearby sculpture lol.
@handmade_ghost
I'm hearing dun, dun, DUUUUN
@DelilahTech I have another collage where I just kept going. šŸ˜‚
@handmade_ghost I want to boop that nose
@idzie It is a supremely boopable snoot! I love these little guys so much, and I'm looking forward to another of their reigns of adorable terror on campus this spring.

@handmade_ghost ground squirrels are so funny to me
@weirdofhermiston They are so adorable and bring so much comedy. This is one of probably hundreds who have totally taken over the underground of the campus where I work--I see their heads pop up everywhere when I walk to my office or class, and it just makes me so happy.
@handmade_ghost when I see them online I’m amazed that they exist, we just have those tree squirrels here
@handmade_ghost My brain helpfully supplied that animal-zoom suspenseful sound-effect from old Vines. Of course, it didn't come up with what the hell that sound effect is called.
@valentine Just what I was going for! šŸ˜‚ (I can't remember what it's called either.)
@handmade_ghost gophers or prairie dogs as we call them ...
@Lstn2urmama They do resemble gophers and prairie dogs, though these little guys ("Belding's" ground squirrels) are a different species altogether. They are all so adorable. 🄹
@handmade_ghost They can be unless one has cattle and horses where broken legs are not a good thing at all ...
