Russian squirrel pack 'kills dog'

 

Local people suggest hunger is driving squirrels to extremes

Squirrels have bitten to death a stray dog which was barking at them in a Russian park, local media report.

 

Passers-by were reportedly too late to stop the attack by the black squirrels in a village in the far east, which reportedly lasted about a minute.

 

They are said to have scampered off at the sight of humans, some carrying pieces of flesh.

 

A pine cone shortage may have led the squirrels to seek other food sources, although scientists are sceptical.

 

The attack was reported in parkland in the centre of Lazo, a village in the Maritime Territory, and was witnessed by three local people.

 

A "big" stray dog was nosing about the trees and barking at squirrels hiding in branches overhead when a number of them suddenly descended and attacked, reports say.

 

"They literally gutted the dog," local journalist Anastasia Trubitsina told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper.

 

"When they saw the men, they scattered in different directions, taking pieces of their kill away with them."

 

Mikhail Tiyunov, a scientist in the region, said it was the first he had ever heard of such an attack.

 

While squirrels without sources of protein might attack birds' nests, he said, the idea of them chewing at a dog to death was "absurd".

 

"If it really happened, things must be pretty bad in our forests," he added.

 

Komosmolskaya Pravda notes that in a previous incident this autumn chipmunks terrorised cats in a part of the territory.

 

A Lazo man who called himself only Mikhalich said there had been "no pine cones at all" in the local forests this year.

 

"The little beasts are agitated because they have nothing to eat," he said.

 

South London squirrels after different kind of stash

If they are not launching themselves at you in drug-fuelled desperation, their bloodshot eyes are searching for their next fix, pink paws scrabbling in the ground. Sometimes they seize upon a rock of crack hidden in front gardens, and scarper to feed their addiction.

 

Squirrels in south London could have become addicted to crack cocaine, say residents of Brixton, who suggest the rodents have dug up drugs buried by dealers or nibbled residues of crack on pipes and vials discarded by addicts.

 

According to internet legend, crack squirrels have terrorised residents in New York and Washington. But is the Brixton crack squirrel real or an urban myth? The Guardian began its search for the freebasing fiend near the local cinema. "They used to hang out in the little park in front of the Ritzy, twitching ... dancing to music only they could hear and generally creating a malevolent ambience," Londoner Rik Abel wrote in his blog. Ritzy regulars were less sure. "I've never seen one," said a staff member. "But there might be crack foxes around too." >

A few months ago I saw a squirrel get run over by a SUV. It ran out right in front of the vehicle, hit the tire, did a few flips in the air and went splat. If it had waited a few seconds more it would have made a safe crossiing. Normally I feel bad for roadkill, but this time Darwin did the world a favor.
