Squirrel Melee

Thats freaking awesome....you could sell tickets to that!

You're telling me. After the brawl went up one side and down the other of my neighbor's roof, I thought about running over there to tell him how awesome his roof was for hosting that ****.

Stupid tree rats.

Two squirrels were fighting in my yard today. I managed to snap a couple of pictures.
1 - The stare down.
2 - The take down.

After sharing the entire story of the squirrel brawl last night, my wife is highly disappointed today. Instead of pics of a squirrel beat-down, we get bushy-tailed pr0n. This is worse than a hockey game with no fighting.

I'm thinking I should wait until nightfall and spray paint them in their sleep. The problem is predictability. I've been living in tha house for 6 years and only witnessed this spectacle 3 times. Knowing when to tag the vermin will be key to the betting.

Has it happened every 2 years? Or just 3 times sporadically during a 6 year span? Maybe marking the dates that they occur on your calendars when it happens and looking for commonalities will reveal something. Or read a book on squirrel behavior.

I wonder if it's animal cruelty to take bets on said squirrel fights

Make love not war

Sporadically, but I'm also not sure I haven't missed others. I did some research, but maybe not enough. I think I might need to set up a squirrel blind in my yard so I can observe their behavior. I'll slowly start "hanging around" with them and become the Jane Goodall of Squirrels.

It'll be difficult, living the squirrel life. Digging holes in people's yards looking for food that isn't there, living in a pile of leaves and watching your friends run into oncoming traffic. But when Squirrel Mosh Pit Day comes again....bet on the 6'3'' dude with a squirrel suit.

Squirrel gravy is real popular round here. Can't say that I've had squirrel melee though. Sounds French.

I thought it was more Cajun. Like squirrel étouffée.

That's what we get from the squirrels around here. I was walking out to my car yesterday when I saw two of them running across our fence, and the one in front kept stopping every couple steps, which would cause the one in back to plow face first into the one in front's, well, I'm sure you get the picture. Never knew squirrels enjoyed a tossed salad until now.
