Hahaha I like your train of thought and "task at paw" 😂 Yet I'm inclined to believe this little fellow is an almond focused one 🐿️

It'll be good 🐿️ thanks. I enthusiasticly consented to being climbed on and was willing to deal with the associated risks 😁

Thanks for your curiosity :D Thankfully she has a very recognizable feature which is her shorter tail. I assume she lost part of it in a fight or something. I once tried to start telling apart the others but it's really hard haha, so many of them on the campus. A few have distinctive faces but that's it.

The claws aren't a problem for now (winter) since I'm always wearing a jacket. I taught her to climbing on my arm directly so shorts won't be an issue, but I'll have to figure something for summer !

Video of her jumping on my arm (she knows by now!)

My favorite squirrel buddy and me. She's definitely the most friendly and gentle of the bunch.

More info about their lovely tail:

The blood vessels in the tail serve as an efficient thermoregulation system, opening blood circulation to the tail to cool the squirrel, and closing it to retain heat. Raising their tail over their body affords them the ability to enjoy the cool shade it provides. It also serves as a warm blanket that greatly helps to keep them warm during cold winter nights. Lastly, their tail is critical in communicating to other squirrels and potential predators.
