This attack was brutal, and honestly, I don’t know how he’s survived this long. He’s battling infection and has deep wounds that extend to the bone. We go back Wednesday for a dressing change and to monitor the infection closely.

This won’t be a quick fix. He has a long road ahead and many hurdles to overcome, but I’m committed to helping him through every one of them.

Thank you for loving us and for understanding the responsibility that comes with these babies once they find their way to me. I walked out of the vet’s office feeling defeated and scared. These are never expenses I plan for, and honestly, I don’t know how I always end up in situations like this—facing overwhelming vet bills for animals I didn’t even know just days ago. ♥️♥️

But I do feel the calling. I do believe I can make a difference, even if not everyone sees it. I’ve witnessed miracles with these little souls before, and I’m praying for one now for Caspian. 🙏🏻♥️ #PipTheBabySquirrel

A truely surreal scene.
A juvenile goshawk was perched on a branch when suddenly a curious squirrel climbed up the tree
At first the squirrel was checking out the goshawk. After almost no reaction from the goshawk the squirrel even crawled closer to sniff the goshawks claws.
The juvenile goshawk was as surprised as I was. It just
stared at the squirrel in total disbelief of what was happening. The goshawk did not even try to grab or snap at the squirrel neither with its claws or beak. It did not make the slightest move to try and catch it. Looks like it's belly was already
full I want to mention that this was not shot in a paid hide and no feeding of wildlife involved Those are two wild living animals and I was just lucky to capture this stunning scene

Researchers from the University of California, Davis, and the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire have documented the first evidence of California ground squirrels hunting, killing, and consuming voles.

The discovery occurred during a long-term study of squirrel behavior at Briones Regional Park in California. In just a few weeks during the summer of 2024, scientists recorded 74 interactions between squirrels and voles. Notably, 42 percent of these involved squirrels actively hunting the small rodents.

Researchers observed squirrels chasing, capturing, killing, and eating voles. They also witnessed squirrels competing with one another over the prey.

This finding significantly changes the scientific understanding of California ground squirrels. They were long considered primarily granivores that feed mostly on seeds and grains. The new observations show they are opportunistic omnivores that can shift their diet dramatically when opportunities arise.

The researchers believe the behavior was triggered by a sudden population boom of voles in the park that summer. With an abundance of easy-to-catch prey, the squirrels took advantage of this new food source.

This dietary flexibility may help explain why California ground squirrels are so successful in changing environments. Instead of depending on a single type of food, they can rapidly adjust their behavior to exploit new resources.

Scientists observed squirrels of all ages and both sexes participating in the hunts, indicating the behavior was widespread rather than limited to a few individuals.

Meet Prevost’s squirrel! Growing ~22 in (55.8 cm) long from nose to tail, this colorful mammal inhabits forests in parts of Asia. It’s crepuscular, meaning it’s most active at dawn and dusk. Its diet includes seeds, fruit, flowers, insects, and bird eggs.

A video captured a brave squirrel defending its burrow from a snake in Arizona.

(The man who took the video says the squirrel survived the standoff.)

If I were the squirrel.. I would just move .
