Ground squirrels

[Viennese Furbabies]

Yesterday, I was at a historical site/garden/animal park about an hour's drive from Vienna. There are a lot of ground squirrels in the whole area.
I just love those little guys.

Quite dangerous little critters

Under siege

Looks like they have been fed quite a lot by visitors this year.

What a shocking last picture were you ok after being viciously malled by a whole pack of these aggressive creatures

Yes, thank you for your concern.
It was a narrow escape though.

I thought mugging people for their trainers was consigned to the history books - cheeky little blighters!

I remember them in Yellowstone, they are very inquisitive and would take peanuts out of your hand

I love them from afar. If they got too close I’d be running for the hills.

Glad you escaped the siege. Looks like they tasted your jeans too!

That reminds me of many moons ago when my family were walking through a park in Bromley. A grey squirrel jumped out of a tree into my sister's pushchair and grabbed a Kitkat finger out of her hand and ran off with it. She (aged about 18 months) yelled so loud everyone was looking.

Are you a photographer? That’s skill.

No, I just love to take pictures of animals and plants.
