It's a bird - no, it's a plane - no, it's a roller-coaster riding food stealing squirrel!
This Fur seems to get a kick out of a new roller-coaster at Alton Towers called Sonic Spinball. He has been seen sneaking rides in the construction phase of the roller-coaster and during first time rider trials.
Being an evil Fur, it of course made it almost impossible to complete construction of this roller-coaster because of paw prints in wet paint, and hungry construction workers.
As of now, this Fur, called Sonic, is banned from riding. He is kept away using non audible Fur deterrents. A Fur is a Fur, so he will be sure to seak revenge possibly causing the coaster to stop while riders hang upside down.

Here stands a Fur member, segmented from the population yet destined for the rise of power and authority over all park benches that us humans are able to utilize.
Their statue is strong, as you can see, though their fall will be harsh and fast, if I have anything to do with this mess of a Fur. Do not stand so proud, as small game hunting season will come shortly to us humans!

[Squirrel Thursday] [Comments(0)] [Permalink]In my backyard about a year ago I saw one of our neighborhood cats ( who has slaughtered countless birds in my yard ) attack a grey squirrel . I was quick to react and chased down the cat - so it is difficult to say whether or not it would have been a kill. I will say that the cat did get a good pounce on the critter and the squirrel was able to put up a good struggle before I broke it up. I remember the squirrel jumping alot and he was able to disengadge himself from the cat. It look like it would have been a tough kill for the cat in any case. I see alot of greys in my yard as many of us do . I have srong respect for them even if they are a nuisance . They are so muscular it is hard to say how easy it might have been for the cat. I can understand your cats reluctance. - [danehower]
Where do all these punk squirrels think they belong? You may be running, walking, riding a bike and they will not budge a nut unless you are centimeters from making pending road kill.
The life expectancy of a city squirrel is only a couple of years, 3 or 4 at the most. I often wonder if they drink motor fluid some what similiar to how we enjoy wine or beer. It's the city life alright - so that being true, look where your going bumb!

- Squirrels belong to the order Rodentia. There are 365 species.
- They mate twice a year.
- Their nests are called dreys.
- Their sweat glands are on their feet.
- They can run 20 miles an hour.
- Their teeth never stop growing. Gnawing keeps squirrels' teeth from growing into their necks.
- When frightened, they dart back and forth to confuse predators. This doesn't work with cars, however, so most city squirrels don't live longer than a year.
- Although considered granivores (animals that eat grains and nuts), they will eat almost anything.
- Gray squirrels bury their acorns all over the place ("scatter hoarding"), then forget where. Forgotten acorns become trees. This forgetfulness is the main way oak and other hardwood forests grow and spread, scientists say.
- Gray squirrels are called "living fossils" because they haven't changed much in 37 million years.
