Whenever I go out into the woods, I'm wondering what kind of wildlife I'll run into.
Sometimes, in my parents' backyard, I'll catch a glimpse of a family of deer carefully making their way over the dried leaves from last fall, or a bunch of wild turkeys gobbling their way around the perimeter of the trees. Every time I go home to Connecticut, I remember how wonderful nature is after so much time spent in the city.
One creature we have here in the city that are also out in the suburbs, though, are squirrels. They tend to stick to the parks, but oh, they're definitely here.
Many of the squirrels I've encountered in NYC are sometimes pretty bold. They don't always get too spooked when you get close. And if you're really lucky, they may even come up to ask for a nibble of your lunch!
I am not used to seeing this same kind of behavior with suburban squirrels. I will usually expect them to run away from me as fast as possible.
But when these two men saw some squirrels out in the woods, they certainly didn't run away. When these little guys saw that these two gentlemen had some delicious hazelnuts in their possession, they weren't shy at all!
I'd love to have an adorable little squirrel approach me like this. What a dream come true!
Please SHARE with your family and friends on Facebook if you were stunned by these friendly little rodents!
