I happened to see a cute fox squirrel and took the picture!

It is the first time I saw a squirrel with such a big parachute-like tail!

Time to write a poem!

 

From wiki:

The fox squirrel (Sciurus niger), also known as the eastern fox squirrel or Bryant's fox squirrel,[2] is the largest species of tree squirrel native to North America. Despite the differences in size and coloration, it is sometimes mistaken for American red squirrelsor eastern gray squirrels in areas where the species co-exist.

To help with climbing, the squirrels have sharp claws, developed extensors of digits and flexors of forearms, and abdominal musculature.[7] Fox squirrels have excellent vision and well-developed senses of hearing and smell. They use scent-marking to communicate with other fox squirrels.
