Creepy animals of Grand Canyon


On the drive into we ran into this herd and had a discussion "Bison or Steer?". Turns out these are a hybrid of both - "Beefalo" - as a local tried to cross-breed the two about 80 years ago, and they live on at the North Rim.

Taking creepy to a new level - kaibob squirrels - big white tails, and big pointy ears - looks part skunk and part rabbit ears.

  1. We have some strange looking squirrels at Oberlin that look similar to this kaibob squirrel...the ones at Oberlin are completely albino though! It's pretty weird to see them in the fall and spring running around! They don't have the creepy pointed ears like Mr. Kaibob though!
