"squirrels" news and stories

Oh, man. So this squirrel was caught on film with its head stuck inside a Yoplait yogurt container.

The squirrel attempts to do all of its usual running, jumping, and generally squirrelish activities against the majestic backdrop of a white, elegant gazebo at South Carolina's Furman University -- all while wearing the container on its head. Apparently the videographer, a WYFF photographer, helped the squirrel remove his cap after filming this footage.

Yep, time to club to death as many of the little grey buggers as you can to save our native British red squirrel. Shrove 'em in the pot and ignore the squeals of our children!

As the government is not willing to order a cull of the grey squirrel in order to save the red, a Conservative Party Peer says that Jamie Oliver should be encouraging our schoolchildren to eat them.

"I must confess that I have never actually eaten a grey squirrel... but I am prepared to give it a go," said one Lord Inglewood. 

Red squirrels are at the brink of extinction in the UK due to the dominence of the grey which were introducted from North America in the 19th century.
