Picture yourself at a dinner party outdoors in New England and stopping the conversation by saying “Hey everyone, look! It’s a squirrel!”. Imagine how they would look at you. That’s the same way people here look at you when you stop things to show them an iguana. Believe me, I know.
However, if you showed them a squirrel, they might be interested. The only one I’ve seen here was at the zoo the other day. He had his own big cage with a tree inside, kept separate from other animals. I wonder how all the squirrels running free at Franklin Park Zoo would feel about this?
