I were cycling to school with the largest child on Wednesday and a squirrel fell out of a conker tree and crashed to the ground in front of us. It did a comedy stagger in circles for a moment and then scuttled off into the undergrowth. We had to get off our bikes due to laughing too much.

My mate startled a couple of squirrels half-way up a route at Agden Rocher earlier this year.  One scuttled off along a ledge to a safe exit at the top of the crag, the other thought it was Tom Cruise and went running along a branch of a tree sticking out of the crag (fortunately friend had just clipped a sling around this tree), then took a flying leap off the end of the branch BASE jump style, missed the trees nearby and plummeted some 30-40ft hitting the ground about 20-25 feet away from the base of the crag.  It didn't move for a few seconds and I thought it must have been dead, but no it pulled itself together and scuttled off (presumably to find a tree to die under!).

Fortunately we did see any sheep coming over the top of the crag but there were a couple that had already tried this prior to our arrival.

  reiterating my point - mental!

Funny squirrels; my brother's girlfriend got attacked by one a while back and she claims it was a crack addict, but who really knows, it might just have been mad.

Now if we legalised drugs we wouldnt have any of these problems of drug related squirrel crime

Onthe same theme, I got emailed this the other day - check out the mega ears

What is that!!  It's beautiful.  Love the teensy hedgepigs too. 

On a similar mini theme, mini pigs, only £500 each!



I'm not sure how nice it is to breed them tiny just to be pets though, although I do really want one. 

[SA Chris]

So breeding pigs to be tiny is not nice, but breeding dogs to be ugly is OK?

[magpie]

I am not trawling all the way through the thread just so I can quote myself and remind you, Mr Forgetful, but I have previously said I don't agree with anything being bred just to make it a cuter / smaller / more desirable pet.

Knee deep in...piglets.

They look lovely now, but what happens when they get a bit older and the dogs look like:



I wouldn't want to be that little pig then...

I took this picture of a baby weasel at Wimberry a while ago:

Actually, to be fair I wouldn't bet my house on it - they are very similar...

I would not be part of any comedy triple act that would have me as a member of it.
