American Red Squirrel - Tamiasciurus hudsonicus
photographed in Rosetta McClain Garden in Scarborough, Ontario.
This squirrel followed me for a while and hoped for some peanuts - sorry not this time.

The American Red Squirrel is widely distributed across North America and is quite small.
Body-weight is about 200 - 300 grams and the body measures 16-23 cm, tail is 9-16 cm long.  Their range includes the majority of Canada and extends south into the United States

Very cute - sehr niedlich...
Die Rothörnchen (Tamiasciurus), in den USA auch als Chickarees bekannt, 
sind eine Gattung der Hörnchen, die heute zu den Baumhörnchen gerechnet werden.
Das  hier gezeigte Gemeine Rothörnchen (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus), 
kommt in Kanada und  den USA vor.
