Female squirrel on a mission
Following my post on acrobatic squirrels, I now know that it is the female squirrel who shows the most acrobatic moves, eating seeds upside down.

I wonder how hard it must be for her to hold food in her mouth in that position....

Forget the fact that she's hanging by her feet. If I just tried to eat upside down I would choke to death.
ReplyDelete@Opus T. Penguin, I would do, but please don't try! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat she actually does is fill up her cheeks with seeds and then, sit at the top of the bird feeder for a few minutes to eat them properly and then dive down again for more.
