Once, while fishing a farm pond in Virginia, I saw a fallen tree limb lying in the water half in and half out. At the very end was an acorn sitting on the limb about an inch from where it dipped below the surface.
A squirrel tentatively hopped out on the limb and made its careful way from the tree lined shore to the end of the limb and grabbed the acorn.
Just then, there was a huge splash as a largemouth bass, at least 10lbs came out of the water and grabbed the squirrel and disappeared out of sight in a swirl and an eddy.
Most remarkable thing I every saw!
After about 5 minutes, I heard a small splash over by the limb and the big bass was back, gently placing another acorn on the end of the limb! :)

I know for a fact they will eat a mouse. Why not a squirrel?

Good one.
Did not see that coming at all.
