    I’m not all that fond of squirrels, but the mad-scientist ear tufts crack me up ;-)

  9. Jorden says:

    I think the servile British squirrel captions might be my very favorite.

    Gotta love the hunkered down, busy eating look.

  14. Carrie says:

    The european squirrels are just adorable aren’t they?

    I wonder if these squirrels eat pumpkins – the ones here do and they suck.

  15. cheryl says:

    Who knew squirrels had cleavage?? Johan’s collection reveals the truth: http://www.imagenation.se/9140.html
    Looks like the Lovely Lady Squirrel (fluttering eyelashes) in Disney cartoons!

  17. Darcy says:

  18. bats says:

    Johan has a lot of nice shots on the website, squirrels and various birds. There’s even a bat (yay!), and a toad. Quite the wild kingdom!

  19. I says:

    We have black squirrels at my school!

  20. berthaslave says:

    This is a freaking hallmark card for Easter. I don’t know how much they’re payin that bunneh-eared sqwerl, but it ain’t enough. I gotta go find some chocolate.

    That black squirrel mutation was first spotted around 20 years ago in Stuyvesant Town and Gramercy Parks– they’ve spread all over the east coast. They are cool skwerls, but they look like Hells Angels next to this little guy!

  25. Cathy says:

    Is this the little red squirrel being run out of England by our grey squirrels? So sad.

  26. my cat is a blob says:

    He is terribly cute.
    He looks to me more eveeilly demented than politely nervous.
    But that must be because he is a squirrel.

  27. kelsie says:

    There are 4′ tall squirrel statues in a neighboring town that are going to be auctioned off sometime next year. It is impossible to walk in that town and not see a squirrel. We’ve got lots of black squirrels too.

    I love squirrels, even though they are somewhat evil.

  28. Brava97 says:

    OMG, he’s only twice as big as the shamrocks! It’s a leprechaun squirrel!

  29. Marie says:

    What a perfect nature shot. Terrific and so cute!

  30. leah b. says:

    Im sitting under youre tree in front of a 4 leaf clover and snacking aways

  31. aware says:

    i’m with Wbirdie. that’s the most evil little squirrel i’ve ever seen. almost like the rabbit guy in donnie darko. only mini – pure concentrated evil.

    and yet, endearing.

  32. Hon Glad says:

    Of course we English are polite,we just give you a V sign once your back is turned.

  34. Amanda says:

    Oh, look! He is nose-level with the clovers! How I weesh that I could use a clovers for a breakfasty table. . .

  35. Patty P says:

    Yes, a leprechaun skwerl! Magically delicious!

  36. cozytailmom says:

    He also meets a cute rule. Not sure the number but it has to do with disproportioned paws to body size.

  37. Theresa says:

    Didja look back at the photo page? He’s got more skwerl, plus boidies and a TOAD!

  38. tracyFLICK says:

    Yes you’re right about the Black squirrels. I remember I saw one recently in central park and it really threw me off.

  39. NYgirly says:

    ok, ok i’m totally a squirrel convert now

    like i really had any choice :P

  40. musicchick2 says:

    ACK!!! This is DEFINITELY the proshest photo in a while! I <3 him!!

  41. herzliebster says:

    “That black squirrel mutation was first spotted around 20 years ago in Stuyvesant Town and Gramercy Parks.” Nope, that’s not the first. There were black squirrels on the grounds of Washington Cathedral in the early 1960′s, that’s 45 years ago.

    But this is a European Red Squirrel, even though it isn’t very red. The tiny size and the ear tufts are the giveaway. There was a very interesting, though depressing, article in last Sunday’s NYTimes magazine about the way American grey squirrels are driving red squirrels in England to the brink of extinction.

  42. Leilani says:

    GAAAHHH! Why don’t we have cute skwerls like this in MY neighborhood???

  43. NotSupposedToBeDoingThisAtWork(ButNowI'mHome) says:

    How much percent evil is he??

  44. koko says:

    Aww, how could anyone not find this (http://www.imagenation.se/9194.html) little guy adorable?? Even if squirrels are a bit pesty, they are cute!

  45. koko says:

    hmm..hope this works instead:

  46. luvinmalssomuch says:

  47. Rosalynde says:

    Johan C.!!!!!!!! Esp. love the birdbath w/ smiling cats and squirrel photos . . .

  48. pamela says:

    looks kinda evil to me…it’s those teeth

  49. ladyjane says:

    Yay! I’m a huge fan of Johan C’s squirrelly pics! Great job! I give it two paws up.

  50. Wooshe says:

    for why are the skibbles on here always very polite and English? Has there been some sort of atlantic swap over, because the only skibbles we have in England are the ebil grey american ones who drove all our lovely coote wittle red ones away -WAIL-
