As my friends know, I DESPISE squirrels.
Well, as if my feelings towards these nasty little vermin needed any prodding, I stumbled upon a video of a squirrel dropping the false pretense of cute little acorn eater and going full-blown, Wild Kingdom carnivore on a blue jay. (Due to the nature of the video and some language therein I wont post a link, but it isnt that hard to find the video in question on YouTube.)
Now, before anybody starts yacking about he was only defending his nest.nope, that argument doesnt work. To kill the blue jay as an act of self-preservation is one thing, but the bushy-tailed rat EATS the blue jay! Theres even a follow-up video that shows what was left of the bird when ol Squirrelly McNutjob got finished chowing down.
So think about that the next time youre tossing crackers to a squirrel in the park. He may be nibbling away on that saltine, but the whole time hes doing that, hes also scoping you out and thinking, Mmmm-mmmm.fresh meat!
