The worlds only Sqrat !

I think I discovered a new animal. Looks like a cross between our squirrels and a rat. Not a lick of fur on him.

mmm, definitely a wierd looking creature, but I'm sure his mother loves him.

WTF? Is this thing for real or from PS? The head looks a bit fuzzy but the body looks to be hairless. Weird stuff! Thanks for sharing, Blue.

When I read the title I immediately thought of this fellow.

Yeah it's real. I saw him in someones yard, slammed on my brakes and took this. I plan on going back to try and get some closer better shots.

LOL. You need a bumper sticker that says "Will Brake For Sqrats!"

Take it to the vet it must have mange ...

Could it be a "bald" squirrel??? I'm not expert in squirrel anatomy, but I guess it'd look like this.

Maybe it went to a "shave head" day help-a-thon thing the cancer associations are doing.

Oh, that's just nasty!!!

I'm guessing it's a squirrel with some sort of disease. You KNOW the other squirrels pick on him.

squirrel head on a rat body... somehow squirrels will never look the same to me. LOL great find.

Looks a bit like the squirrel here:

Yep, looks like a squirrel with a genetic disease... Or a rat trying to infiltrate a group of squirrels
