Recently saw something I've never spotted before despite a lifetime of being around squirrels. One was swimming!

Also just an assortment of pretty blooms

I have never seen a squirrel swim! I suppose there's no reason they couldn't, just no reason they should need to for the most part.

(Those flowers are lovely~)

Wow, never seen a squirrel swim before either! Perhaps it fell in the water somehow?

No one has yet told me they have! Clearly it's not that common.

With its tail trailing just like a regular rat, makes sense now I think about it :-)

Pretty flowers :-)

Add me to those who've never seen a swimming squirrel before. It certainly looks like it knows what it's doing!

Such lovely flowers!

Yup, we thought it was a muskrat at first, but clearly not!

I am unfamiliar with seeing squirrels swimming, so that's a very interesting picture.

There blooms are also beautiful.

Have you shown the swimming squirrel photo to your local scientific community? That could be important documentation of a rarely witnessed (by humans) phenomenon.
