Gee, why won’t this squirrel take a bite out of this nice coconut we put out for him? It turns out there’s a reason for it.
If you watch carefully, you’ll see at least four squirrels getting involved in this situation.

This Squirrel Was Framed!
Boo! This squirrel was set up! Tempted by squirrely treats, and lured into a life of crime–to wit, towel-stealing. It’s only a matter of time before she graduates to towel-stealing and (dare we say it?) spreading disinformation, Climbit Chainge Denial, etc…
Not Quite Tame (But Getting There)
Have you ever hand-fed wild squirrels? After a while they aren’t so wild anymore. There was a squirrel who used to sit down next to me when I sat on the porch step. Sometimes I forgot to bring squirrel treats, but he didn’t seem to mind.

Have You Brushed Your Squirrel Today?
You’d think squirrels would make good pets. They’re quick to learn, they’re friendly–what’s not to like?
Except that, really, the squirrels around here seem perfectly happy outside and it doesn’t take much effort to make friends with them. They’ll eat out of your hand. I don’t know if they’ll ever sit on your lap… unless they’re living in your home.
I just wish they wouldn’t chew the wires on our cars.
Free Spirits! (Squirrels)

We love to watch them wrestling with twigs, tackling their own tails, jumping up and down, spinning around–and why do they do it?
Because they’re squirrels and it suits them just fine!
Squirrel Solitaire
The first time I ever saw this, I was amazed–a squirrel playing with a stick, jumping on it, rolling around with it, having a grand time. Well, what else are you supposed to do when there are no other squirrels around to chase?
Rodents are very, very smart, by the way. If they lived longer, they’d be playing chess.
