WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

I love these little guys. This picture reminds me of the magic carpet from Aladdin.

I wonder if we'll have birds fighting with squirrels descendants for air superiority in 50 million years time.

Mr Taylor used a clever combination of a 150mm camera lens and a special 3,500 volt high-speed flash triggered by an infra red beam to capture the images.

And now they're blind you cruel bastard.

It would be fun to have one trained as a pet to scare people with. Have him hop off the roof and dive bomb people. Film it and you can make a lot of internet money.

badLogic: Mugato: I read that in Prince's voice.

Same here, I immediately went with When Doves Cry

Damn, I thought I had an original idea for once.
*shakes tiny fists*

This is what it would looklooks like if when squirrels could fly

terrible, subby, terrible.

If I lost the weight, and aerodynamic drag, of my huge nutsack, I could fly too.

miss diminutive: I love these little guys.

I had no less than 13 of them living in my attic until early this spring. I now need new insulation because they trashed what was up there. Not very much fun listing to them all night (they're nocturnal).

I tried to catch and relocate as many as possible, but the Have a Heart was not doing the job fast enough. Sorry to say I had to revert to conventional rat traps at their points of egress.

They are gone now.

Winner. Now I just have to figure out how many mutation points i have to work with.

I was thinking the same thing. Poor bastards are sailing through the air, then... FLASH ...night-blindness. Seems like a real dick move.

and NOW for something REALLY special

Look at me, I'm a squirrel!

What funny timing! I love birds, so I have several feeders in my backyard. Unfortunately, that means I'm constantly at war with the squirrels who would happily devour two pounds of expensive seed in one sitting. I've tried all variations of squirrel-proof feeders, but because I've got a lot of trees in my backyard, they always figure out a way to jump from a higher limb, circumventing the barrier. I've tried everything else too -- pole grease, rubber snakes, loud noises. Finally, last week, I decided to fix the problem once and for all.

They seem to prefer the sunflower seeds the most, so I bought a big bag of those along with five pounds of warfarin, the most popular rodenticide available to consumers. I mixed three parts seeds to one part warfarin and filled all the feeders. Warfarin doesn't kill instantly by any means. It takes five to seven days of feeding for a lethal dose to build up in the squirrel's body. I also combined some of it with talcum powder and coated the perches with the mixture. It gets into their fur and they consume more of it while grooming. Its odorless and tasteless, so the greedy little bastards didn't even realize they were poisoning themselves!

Well, lo and behold, I walked outside this morning and there were over thirty paralyzed, twitching squirrels! I thought there'd just be two or three, but in turns out I had more of a problem than I thought. I guess they'd eaten just enough to disable their nervous systems, so it was easy to shovel them all into a black plastic garbage back, which I tied up tight. It's going to be 105 degrees here today and I hung the bag in the closed up garage. If the heat doesn't get them, then the suffocation will!

I look forward to washing out the feeders tonight and getting back to feeding my babies!

Yeah Spentmiles, I'm really laughing.

You are an ass.

Now that's just wasteful. If you had used GHB, you could have made a nice squirrel stew out of them.

A loop, a whirl, a vertical climb, and once again you know it's time for Rocky, The Fark Squirrel.

so you left a bag of dead squirrels in a plastic bag IN your garage in 105 degree heat? putz.

Can I interest you in some sunflower seeds?

Obviously you're new here... Spentmiles makes many threads worth reading...

Whenever I see this I hear "Flight of the Valkyries" and the sound of the cat siren from Nightmare Before Christmas.

If you'd bothered check my profile, its quite obvious that I'm not new here at all. I've read plenty of spentmiles posts. and I still hope he dies a violent and painful death.

As the flash causes the animal to lose it's bearings and slam into the tree. Thanks a ton farko.

Call a professional to trap invasive animals, jackass.

Cruelty to animals and violence towards people share common characteristics. ² For
example, both types of victims are living creatures, feel pain and experience distress, and may
die from their injuries.³ Until recently, however, violence towards children and the elderly, and
other domestic violence had been considered to be unrelated to violence towards animals.⁴ A
correlation has now been established between animal abuse, family violence, and other forms of
community violence.⁵ A growing body of research indicates that people who commit acts of
cruelty towards animals rarely stop there. ⁶ Murderers and people who abuse their spouse or
children frequently harmed animals in the past.⁷People who abuse animals are not only
dangerous to their animal victims but may also be dangerous to people.⁸

You are not alone.

Karma is a debt that none of us escape.

I hope one of these pics has been submitted for a PS contest, or at least a Caption contest.

I know for a fact that flying squirrels should not be fed Vienna sausages.

One of the coolest things that ever happened to me was back in '91 near Chalk River, Ont..

I was working in a research plot measuring tree growth and had to label a sample tree that had died. After pounding the nail into the stump, I leaned on the stump (the top of the tree had fallen off, so the only part left was about 10 feet tall and 4 inches wide or so) and looked around to see what to do next. I felt something brush across my fingers ..... looked back and saw something I had never seen before - it looked something like a squirrel but had extra skin between the front and back paws. I figured out it was a flying squirrel and had been sitting inside a hole on the other side of the stump from where I was pounding the nail in. He was nice enough not to bite me when he ran across my fingers.
