This brief encounter illustrates how Gray Squirrels in their natural environment that are not habituated to humans act very differently toward us. First the freeze when they hear and/or spot us - in this case in the dense woods of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in south Georgia - then the rapid and exaggerated tail wagging that acts as a silent visual alarm to surrounding squirrels then a movement into the tree crown and the verbal sort of bark or quack alarm. These wild squirrels are smart to treat us humans as a threat upon first meeting, squirrels are one of the most hunted and killed wild game in the US, but here they are safe and not meant to be habituated to animals and are not to be fed.
