Generally, within Denver, you will spot squirrels scurrying about. These are not your average bushy-tailed rodents. They seemily have adapted to the urban landscape by shrinking in size. Despite their diminutive stature, they’re just as mischievous as their counterparts, darting around parks and urban green spaces in search of snacks.
