Camera Critters

I've posted this photo before, but it was over the summer, and I didn't originally post it for Camera Critters. This was taken at the Grand Canyon right by the main rim trail. I guess the snake was lost, and the squirrel didn't want him there! The squirrel kept throwing dirt at the snake, but finally, the squirrel ran off. I'm usually deathly afraid of snakes, but there were so many people around, I knew I was safe. Happy 6 month anniversary to Camera Critters!

  5. LOL! I bet that was so fun watching the squirrel do that. I'm not a fan of snakes myself but I would have had to stay for the shot as well.

  9. I'm not so fond of snakes myself. I never would have expected the squirrel to throw dirt on the snake to try and get it to leave. I would have expected the squirrel to run away pretty quickly.
