Blast off! Watch as this squirrel leaps from tree and escapes from being this hawk’s lunch.
Many scenarios in life require the fight or flight instinct. It is pretty clear which one this squirrel chose in his near death experience.
This brown squirrel went from being dead meat to a flying squirrel in a matter of seconds. Like something out of a movie, it looks as if the squirrel hit Inspector Gadget’s ejector button as he launches from the greenery and into the blue sky.
The squirrel lives to see another day and is telling all his squirrel buddies what he pulled off today. See the action (video) here.

I clicked on the video so that I could e-mail it to my husband, but I could not find an e-mail box. Is there one?
