Orange-Bellied Squirrel Is Ready For Nuts: Photo Of The Day
Steve Gorman has named this frequent backyard visitor Otto, who is always on the lookout for nut handouts.
ALAMEDA, CA — Steve Gorman snapped this close-up photo of a backyard squirrel in Alameda. "We call this guy Otto." Otto and his buddies are frequent visitors to Alameda backyards where many people put out nuts to attract the furry visitors with brown/gray backs, a tan/orange underside and a bushy tail. We wonder if Otto is like the dog named Tramp in the Disney classic Lady and the Tramp — he responds to many names — as long as a meal is involved!
