Jan. 21 (UPI) -- A Toronto woman captured video when she looked into her backyard and was confronted with a bizarre sight: a squirrel holding a knife.

VIDEO AT LINK.......................

Andrea Diamond, who lives in the Rosedale area of Toronto, said squirrels are a common sight in her back yard, but Wednesday morning she spotted a squirrel that had picked up a paring knife she had left near a tent outside her home.

"So apparently knife wielding squirrels are a thing now," Diamond tweeted along with footage of the squirrel.

She said the rodent gnawed on the knife handle for a while before abandoning the tool. She said the animal returned a short time later to chew on the knife a little longer.

Diamond said the squirrel did not appear to have injured itself with the sharp object.

This pic is a different, thinner squirrel from the fat one in the Toronto Sun article. Than one had a knife with a blue handle and the background was different.

So it really is a trend.

If a squirrel brings a knife to the fight, I bring a gun.

A squirrel with a knife? I guess his background check didn’t come back for the AK-47 he bought at the gun show... 😀
