Pictures: Close Encounters of the Squirrel Kind

 

My roommate and I had a visitor the today.  A squirrel we call Patches on account of her patchy colored tail stopped by to see if we had any handouts.  Did you know that the average adult squirrel needs to eat about a pound of food per week?  That's a lot of peanuts!

Still life with a skull - conte crayon

This was my first crack at using conte crayon. It was a lot of fun to draw but I had made a bit of a mess by the end of the class period!
Did you know that the human skull is composed of thirty different bones?
