EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a Wild Shermans Fox Squirrel, known scientifically as Sciurus niger shermani. This particular species of squirrel is designated as a species of special concern due to the alarming rate of habitat loss it faces. In this image, we witness an extraordinary moment when the squirrel was foraging along the ground but swiftly took refuge in the towering pine tree trunk upon sensing human presence. The photographer, Kristian Bell, skillfully seized this opportunity to immortalize the creature's last glance back before rapidly ascending into its arboreal sanctuary. The close-up shot showcases every intricate detail: from its vibrant fur and alert eyes to its agile paws gripping onto the rough bark. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility towards preserving wildlife and their habitats. With each passing day, these magnificent creatures face increasing threats that push them closer to endangerment. By capturing this fleeting moment in time, Bell highlights not only the beauty but also the vulnerability of these incredible animals. Let us cherish and protect our natural world so that future generations can continue to marvel at such awe-inspiring encounters with creatures like this Wild Shermans Fox Squirrel on a pine tree trunk in Florida's wilderness.
