Witnessed this squirrel carrying her baby in a most unusual fashion in the Kruger Park last year.

Enjoy the day everyone! :D

Excellent natural history image Morkel. Dont remember from where but I have seen this image before and liked it very much.

Excellent grab shot Morkel. It so easy to overlook these guys as they scuttle along the branches.

Very interesting behaviour, well captured. I like it a lot.

Good for the unusual nature of the image. It looks like focus is back by the tail and I do find the leaves in the back distracting.

thanks for the feedback everyone...

Robert - couldn't avoid the leaves as these guys just love them trees ;)
Focus does seem a tad sharper on the tail, well spotted (this was my first time with an f4 lens and man was I not used to the DOF!) :o

Thought this was a chameleon from the thumbnail! I like the branch anchoring the image and the way the baby is wrapped around the face.
