Sciuridae
Sciurus carolinensis
(eastern gray squirrel)

Image Caption:
A gray squirrel emerges from a squirrel-sized hole lined with tooth marks to enjoy a little chicken that someone conveniently placed in this park garbage.  With the ability to gnaw wood and plastic and keen sense of smell, these "tree rats" can gain unwelcomed entry to garages, bird feeders, attics, and many other places that provide good shelter or food.
