A recent study in California found that squirrels are getting sick of being gobbled up. They have been observed smearing the scent of dead rattlesnakes on their bodies to cover their own delicious scent. I had no idea squirrels were analytical thinkers!”I wish I was a beaver.”I was skeptical about the intelligence of these animals. If a squirrel is smart enough to mask it’s scent, it should be smart enough to not dart out in front of my car while I’m driving, right? Well, I looked into this a little more and it appears that squirrels are actually a lot smarter than we thought.Squirrels have been photographed partaking in normal everyday human activities such as:Enjoying a cold beer after a hard day of… eating acorns.Participating in water sports.Writing music.If this is a sign of evolution, I reckon it’s only a matter of time before they start forming colonies, developing technology, and waging war with each other. Scary thought.
