Saturday Squirrel.

There's no getting around it. January is a really tough month. No one knows this better than our furry friends. Enduring every cold spell, our furry friends have experienced some harsh and trying conditions. While Mother Nature is throwing her worse at our friends, know that they do have some unique countermeasures, and of them was recently spotted in a tree. Outside South Dining Hall, this squirrel demonstrated a unique way of combating the cold... the tail flop. Flopping its tail over its body, our friend was able to trap his body heat, staying just a bit warmer. On being spotted flopping his tail, this squirrel non-verbaled, "It's better than doing nothing."
