SUY Squirrels, marmots and relatives :-)

This SUY topic is devoted to squirrels, ground squirrels, marmots and all members of Sciuromorpha so also dormice and mountain beaver.

These animals are wonderful and very cute, and probably have best reputation from all rodents :) . Red squirrel is best known member from this group, many kids and adults love them for their acrobatic skills, big eyes, fluffy tails and beautiful red fur. In some parks these animals are not afraid of people and always checking if someone has something to eat for them

There is many species of squirrels, ground squirrels, and marmots and many figures of them available on the market however most represented is red squirrel. For more scientific information about Sciuromorpha please click the link above

Here are my cuties

It would be wonderful to see photos of squirrels and friends from many collections!

They are just adorable, Ana

That doormouse
The new squirrel from Collecta is just a little piece of artwork , I got one recently, - now I will have to start looking for the elder model, too

Thankyou for sharing
The sun is too sharp to take pictures right now, - but in Denmark we NEVER complain about sunshine when at last it is here

Lovely animals, Anna! I especially love that newest Collecta squirrel. He's so nice! :)

Here are my little squirrels. Two Schliech and a Bullyland. :)

Oh yes I should have put what brand they all were. That is a Giant Squirrel I believe - it's made by Kaiyodo.

I can`t . It seems that part has just been cut off.

What is the little one to the left ?

Safari desert toob prairie dog

i also have the eating squirrel by Schleich but he/she is cut off from my picture if you look closely you can see a little bit of the face

What a great group of pictures!

Thank you Anna, Kristie, Susanne, Harriet, and Lance, for sharing.

@Anna, I love that Collecta Squirrel! (the more recent one -- the one eating.) I got it recently and it looks better in person than it did in the pictures I had previously seen. It is painted very nicely. The pictures of it above, however, are really good and do it justice.

@Harriet, I still think that bullyland micro Squirrel is awesome. Long live micro-squirrel.

I am in squirrel and marmot heaven.

Harriet: I know! I really have to.

Nice collection Andreas; I like that Chipmunk! (Is it a chipmunk? It's on the right, with the stripe down its back and black and white around its eyes?)

Here's my modest contribution. (I am leaving out the three Schleich squirrels I have.) First, my Kaiyodo Squirrel. I believe they listed it as a Eurasian Red Squirrel. (In the top frame, it is next to the collecta.)

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
(This Kaiyodo is particularly gruesome with respect to the seams. You can pop off his face. I hope this doesn't make Andreas squirm too much.)

And just because I like it so much, I'll include another picture of the CollectA Eating Squirrel that Anna already photographed beautifully above.

Not to be weird or anything, but I've always thought moving to an international "squirrel" currency would be a great idea, if only because we'd be able to ask questions like, "How much is that in squirrels?" and people would have to carry around bags of squirrels.

Thank you Scott, yes it is a chipmunk!

Nice squirrels too.

Harriet what a beautiful photo and lovely collection :) (again ) I also love Bullyland micro squirrel, one day I will need to order it too :) About what the CollectA squirel keeps in paws, well, to me it looks like pine cone

Scott, I'm happy You're enjoying CollectA squirrel too Great photos and Kaiyodo squirrel as well, this one has very nice and unusual pose :)
Squirrel currency? That's indeed crazy idea, remind me about "Esperanto language' project Would be very nice

Andreas, Lance, great collections, a lot of figures I see first time Thank You for sharing

Thanks Anna

ah that's ok then wouldn't want it to poison itself! Acorns are supposed to be poisonous to reds aren't they

I'm a little delayed with SUY topics!
So pleeeeease... forgive me.
