Have a Nutty Christmas

Merry Christmas to squirrels everywhere...

"LOOK into my eyes..."

Look into my eyes, human. Fix your gaze upon mine. You are feeling generous...very generous...you wish to give me brazil nuts..."

From further afield 4: "Squirrel's acorn stash causes car breakdown at farm"

From the BBC, another tale of squirrel 'move any mountain' behaviour, akin to that witnessed by the South London bard, Nigel of Bermondsey (see entry Tuesday 22nd March 2011). A Hampshire squirrel managed to create a hoard of about 200 acorns inside a car's air pipe, as discovered by an AA patrol man called out to the scene... "I don't know how many acorns a squirrel can move an hour, but there must have been 200 in there."
