Every time I see a squirrel narrowly escape death, I think of their car avoidance software.
Just last week, I was driving down a road, and two squirrels ran right out in front of my car and turned into a gray fur ball as they fought.
I just kept my wheels straight, and let things pass as they would.
I didn’t feel a bump-bump, and they were nowhere to be seen, but I had this vision of them freezing in mid struggle and looking up just as my car passed over them, then both darting in diametrically opposed directions at top speed to escape unharmed.
Maybe they’re holographic squirrels or shape shifters? I do think you’re on to something. Must be some genetic anomaly with those plague carrying fur balls
We have more skunks and coons. Maybe all the squirrels already bit the last Michelin’s and the environment has become more symbiotic here?
