Apparently,
today is National Squirrel Appreciation
Day.
Mind
you, this should not be confused with National
Squirrel Awareness Month celebrated each and every October.
So
I’m going to make the bold assumption that you’re already well aware of the
squirrels (and squirrelly people) in your life, and get down to the business of
showing the love for those super heroes of the animal world who are…
Faster
than a bumper car, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to leap 20-foot
buildings in a single bound!
All
true…
Well,
except for the locomotive part.
However,
they can grow their mighty chompers 6 inches per year!
Feeling a
little less super now, Superman?
Thought
so.
And
how about their knack for finding all those hidden nut hoards?
Well,
it’s been recently discovered that right before stashing nuts, squirrels lick them
and rub them all over their little faces.
Sciencey
folks call this “scenting.”
And
it clearly proves that squirrels have a level of intelligence rivalling that of
your average kid brother…
who's been using this move to protect Milk Duds, Skittles, and Snickers bars since we
first stepped out of the cave.
PROMPT: Get
inspired by a few episodes of Rocky and
Bullwinkle or treat yourself to The
Nut Job on the big screen. Then come up with a super squirrelly character who…
gulp!... just teamed up with your little
brother.
