squirrel, carrying its hapless victim, an acorn, back to its den of
iniquity. Since it is standing in roughly the same location as the
mink/fisher [misher?] [fink?] I photographed earlier, you can use it as
a tape measure. (Which would be really helpful, until you realize that
Wikipedia claims the body length of a grey squirrel is 8-12 inches.)
Incidentally, my neighbor showed up for Halloween dressed as "boy being
attacked by squirrel". What a nut!
I am pleased to see your comment on the violence of herbivory. I knew there had to be a way to justify continued indulgence in tasty animal products.
