"Shiva" wrote in news:aHlwYXRpYQ==.a3b2308abb9f0fb7554834de9a85aeaf @1062945421.cotse.net: Now that we have had some cool weather (80s F daytime, 60s nights) the chipmunks and squirrels and of course VOLES (grrrr) are out and about more, and the squirrels are doing something really weird. 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? Yes, you may find this hard to believe but squirrels, like humans, live in advanced societies. Noted squirrel anthropologist Stacy Nutt has discovered that squirrels in the NW worship a diety known as "ppullueaneankal". The behavior you are witnessing is just one of many rituals for communing with the diety. Another squirrel diety is named "Lroci". ppullueaneankal is usually depicted as a large male cervine mammal with large palmate antlers, while Lroci is usually a normal sized squirrel. Lroci is tyically depicted wearing goggles and a leather helmet. -- Salty |
