OT Squirrels Flipping Out
They may have been worshiping a deity, but I think it is more likely
that they were practicing for the upcoming Squirrel Olympics. The gymnastics competition is extremely fierce. The russian squirrels, under the guidance of Bella Traversetrees usually takes the gold, but this year the US team is determined to beat them. While the gymnastics competition will be tough, the US team is heavily favored in the car darting slalom, drain pipe skeleton, and bird feeder--crack the code and eat biathlon. Of course, its anyone's guess as to whether team mates may be disqualified for the use of catnip or poppy seeds.

They dig out a little scooped place in the rose bed or at the base of one of the big old oaks, then they leap like 3 feet up in the air and flip when they hit the ground and flop around. They seem to take turns doing this and wind up on their bellies with their tails sort of laying down flat on their backs. They appear to be having a great time. I have seen this before but it was in the spring and I attributed it to mating behavior. But they don't mate in the fall, do they? |
