Day Seventy-Seven: Tail-less Squirrel

I saw something today I have never seen before: a squirrel without a tail. I was not quick enough to get a picture, but my kids are my witnesses. We all got tickled seeing the little guy run through the yard seemingly oblivious to his missing appendage. It made me wonder what purpose a squirrel's tail actually serves. It also reminded me that humans are the only creatures that get hung up on physical appearances. We would do well to imitate the animals here and just go on about our business.
