This weirdo keeps making direct eye contact while munching on his wee leaf, despite the fact that I’ve laid out a whole tree-rat smorgasbord for him and his mates.

The squirrel has brownish- brownish-gray fur, a large bushy tail, and dark eyes. It is holding a small piece of green vegetation in its front paws near its mouth. The branch features dark, rough bark and extends diagonally from the upper left of the frame. The background is a soft, out-of-focus blur of light green and yellow colors. 🌱 Energy used: 0.120 Wh

@amerpie Back in the late 80s/early 90s one of my co-workers found a letter in Nature by someone who had conducted a casual experiment based on an article that said squirrels prefer food with the highest calorie content and the softest shell. The letter-writer determined that peanut M&Ms were the preferred food of their local squirrels. My co-worker was mad for months about this guy feeding M&Ms to squirrels.
