The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.

That is a squirrel with good taste. Zesta has the right amount of salt and cronch.

What a clever little creature. Good for her.

This is exactly why trying to "squirrel proof" your bird feeders is pointless. They can and will figure it out. If they're a problem the birds are the ones who will deal with it.

I was late to work once because a squirrel found a plastic peanut butter jar with a little bit of peanut butter inside and spent at least 30 minutes trying to get it up a tree.

We had a fave tailless squirrel at my college (everyone knew him) and one time I was lucky enough to see him discover an open car sunroof, slip inside, and absolutely ransack the personโ€™s neat little bag of trash. Flung every wrapper all about the car, bounced in several circles, then exited. โค๏ธ

This reminds me of the brazen wildlife at Disney. Many people left their popcorn uncovered in their strollers and the squirrels took that as an open invitation. I shiver when I think about people going back to their stroller and eating food that rodents had been pawing at moments earlier.

Love the Alt text, but I'm not sure about the assumption of larceny on the part of the squirrel. Maybe the squirrel was simply retrieving crackers that had been stolen by the vehicle owner. Or, alternatively, "Anjeloma" is squirrel for "Robin Hood." So many unexplored possibilities.
