So early this morning I was leaving my apartment for a final and my girlfriend started laughing and going nuts. Turns out she saw a bright red squirrel running around my complex. Sure enough she was right. Two things struck me as odd: 1-he's red, 2-he was rather small and quite friendly, unlike most squirrels. I'd like to call him a chipmunk due to his size but I'm not sure if that'd be correct.
Well, without further ado, I present the mysteriously curious and kind Red Squirrel of San Diego!
Not sure if he was spray painted by a cruel person or what. He almost seemed to be a pet due to how comfortable he was with us approaching him. That and there's no color around his eyes and mouth which wouldn't happen if he were painted. I'm thinking he's someone's domestic pet on the loose and was dyed red for fun...
