Very interesting and a bit scary (1 Viewer)

On the news this a.m. they were talking about squirrels attacking people in NYC and actually biting the humans. I wonder what would cause this. Here's a short video from NYC which I found after hearing the news story.

A google search brought up many articles about this. I wonder why this is happening.

That is definitely unususa.

I know Lisa. It surprised the hell out of me.

I've heard of Grey Squirrels in London parks mugging humans for cigarettes, having become nicotine addicts by chewing dropped butts.

This looks more serious and the fact that rodents including squirrels can be a reservoir for rabies is a definite worry.

That's nothing, it's the squirrels from Caerbannog you want to watch out for. Just ask Tim.

I now look at squirrels under a whole new view.
