Melissa Brandts set up her camera on a timer to photograph herself and her husband in front of Lake Minnewanka, but this little camera whore had different ideas for the picture. Fortunately, it turned out kinda nice-looking. [UPDATE: Make your own crasher squirrel picture using our advanced crasher squirrel technology.
After all the SHOCKING plane crashes and LATE BREAKING car chases covered by the local news these days, it's refreshing to see a piece about a squirrel with its head caught in a yogurt cup.
Culture Buzz I thought that since “Hungry Kitty Begs For Food” was so well-liked, you all might enjoy equally adorable “Squirrel Eats A Lemon.” So Squirrels have no sour face? Fascinating.
Nothing will stop this guy when it comes to finding nuts (we've heard that before). In our dreams, that squirrel is giving the stinkeye to a pigeon all Bravehearted out. Let the battle begin!
Animal sex: always big on the interwebs. Getting a little adventurous, eh? Not quite what Darwin had in mind.
What? It's natural. I should also warn you right now that the video is most definitely not in HD, but the video is titled this way, and I think it brings a little something extra.
British TV personality Phillip Schofield is at it again. This time he's tweeting that squirrels almost chewed through some wires in his house and he took a picture of it. Not to sound mean or anything, but am I missing something, or do British people have a fundamentally different idea of what's interesting?
The image on the left shows an undeniably cute rat. Which is deeply confusing, because I thought rodents were supposed to be ugly creatures. So which is it? Pick a side of the debate, then post an image of a cute or an ugly rodent to justify your claim. Hopefully we can tip the scales one way or the other and sort this mess out once and for all.
This starts off pretty well, but it ends up a little ominously. All in all, I'm not sure I'm totally comfortable with this scenario. Nonetheless, cute!
Culture Buzz Squirrels around the country are rejoicing today because it's squirrel appreciation day! Everybody drive home just a little bit slower tonight, for the squirrels. I know I'll be sending the bird feeder lifeguards home early, so have at it boys. My nuts are your nuts…until 11:59am when I rearm the rodent blaster.
A photographer caught some amazing shots of Namibian squirrels mid-battle. Another fear to add onto the list: angry squirrels. Thanks a lot, Namibian Kung Fu squirrels.

The perfect stocking-stuffer for the taxidermy enthusiast on your list: Mounted squirrels, in a variety of poses. Get yours custom-made. This is sort of the opposite end of the spectrum from the beloved Sugar Bush Squirrel.
Science Buzz The Oak trees around Maryland are producing literally no acorns this year, and the squirrels are going nuts looking for food. There are a few differing theories, but nobody really knows why. It's the mystery of the missing acorns!
Culture Buzz A site devoted to thousands of photos of a Florida woman’s pet squirrel, in costume. Kelly Foxton took in the baby squirrel in 2003, and after a year of gaining its trust, began training the squirrel to pose in patriotic photos. The resulting web site is…fascinating.
