Squirrels

Hello,

time for another trivia of the day. Squirrels are left-handed or right-handed, just like humans. They always hold the pinecones with the same hand and eat them in the same direction.

Here we have an artist's illustration of a right-handed squirrel:



As you can see, it holds the cone in its right hand.

The mouse is right handed. Therefore the squirrel is left handed when busting a nut..

tmi..

 

you should just make one ''fun fact'' thread and post a little something daily or whatever

 

Hello,

I thought about it, but unfortunately I named the other thread 'Woodpeckers'. A more generic name would have started it. But then again, I don't know enough for a daily series .

There is a thread about squirrels that has not been started by Orison?

Epic.

I've started putting mixed nuts on my porch for the squirrels and they're diggin' it, for sure.

 

This is an indigenous British Red Squirrel - all but wiped out by their grey cousins nowadays except in a few remote places

Hello,

flying squirrels? They look like they come in the dark of the night to rip off your head and drink your blood .

Another kind of squirrel I like:the Anomalure or African Scaly Tailed squirrel.

 

i seem to recall there's some kind of squirelle in india, that's the size of small dog. i forget what they're called.
and then lets not forget the pair of squirels in mongrels. (wonderful once upon a time british not for kids furry puppet show)

also, flying squirels, gnaw, they just steal you toupet and take it home to sleep with it.

 

My girlfriend hates em.

 

whee, its an amusement park fun ride.
