and comes right up to the window. He gets up on his hind legs and looks me right in the eye. He's a handsome fellow; I didn't realize their teeth were orange--well, at least his are.

Something else that surprised me--he can climb a tree. I had no idea. I also saw him scurry along the top of a split-rail fence. He isn't huge, just sort of medium-sized. He stays out of my raised-bed garden, I think because I planted so many citronella plants in there and he can't stand the stink.
