Sciuridae

A squirrel that is
                                          recumbent on the road, is
                                                            destined to road-kill.

I was intrigued by the title, but road kill is not very appetizing.

Hey you made me look up the title word to find out it means squirrel!!! It would be hilarious to see any animal being recumbent on the freeway. I think it must be born into them to scurry across freeways!! Yep, they will be dead meat if they don't. This one was GREAT.

The sweet little creatures do tend to push their luck. They seem to get so discombobulated when confronted with vehicles. Even on my bicycle, they don't just run away before they get stimmied and frozen in place. I always have to put on the brakes, rrrrr, then I have to get up speed again. I'm kinda lazy that way. :)
