Zombie Cannibal Squirrel Apocalypse

OK, so I have no proof that the squirrel was an actual zombie, but there are some good arguments here on ATS that support the apocalypse is upon us.
Anyway,
So yesterday I was driving around when I saw a dead squirrel in the road, no big deal happens alot around here. Then out of nowhere another squirrel runs out in the road and starts ripping at the flattened roadkill squirrel, Seriously. It was pretty crazy.

Sorry I was driving, so I could not take a picture. but imagine a lion eating a zebra. (just small and grey).

This reminded me of an event last year when me and my boss were out smoking a cigarette and this squirrel runs past with a baby rabbit in it's mouth and a bunch of other rabbits chasing it.
Do not screw with California squirrels.

(discaimer: this squirrel not the actual squirrel described in the events above.)

Does anyone know what would drive a squirrel to cannibalism? I don't think it is a lack of food in the area, we have had plenty of rain lately everything is green.

Is this a natural tendency for squirrels? I always thought they ate nuts,

It's probably natural, cats will eat dead cats, and people, so who knows. I've never seen a cannibal squirrel myself, but I wasn't really looking for it either. Crazy story

And so it begins!

We are just a kick in the arse away from my favoured end times scenario,ZOMBIEAPOCALYPSE!!



Seriously though,pretty strange behaviour!
Wonder for any reason whether there may be a shortage of their natural food,whatever that is?

Nuts i suppose!

a case for special agent secret-squirrel...





dunno how to upload pics :S

Quite normal. When food is scarce, it's the easiest way of sustenance.

this may sound like a dumb question, but here in WI I have never seen a squirrel eat meat, I throw seeds and nuts out to ours ever winter, never seen them go after anything meat like....


do CA Squirrels usually eat meat??

These are ground squirrels not tree squirrels, they live in holes in the dirt.

But other than those two instances I have never seen a squirrel eat meat. Also as I said before, I am pretty sure there is not a lack of food to be found around here. If it was Oct /Nov than sure there would be scarce food after the annual fires but there were no fires this past year and there is lots of vegetation.

Maybe it had nuts in it's stomach, or the nuts it had consumed had some how turned into Nutella or Nuttino

Lol at your disclaimer. This is the third time I have read about zombie animals....that would be awesome if humans got infected

Disclaimer: not the super fast running zombies, nice slow easy to beat zombies.

It got to the point where chip had enough of dale

hmmm... Maybe you should look again at all the Zombie movies... The slow ones are the deadliest kind...

And the worst is, you'll stay alive all along because you will have become a zombie by the time they finish you... Terrible terrible fate...

Concerning the squirrel... It has probably stepped up the evolution ladder and is now a full time meat eater. Since old habits die hard, WATCH YOUR NUTS!

Lol where is you logic in saying slower zombies are more deadly than fast ones....that's just wrong.

Jeezzz crazy squirrel where's your nuts.

He probably took his nuts, and the cannibal squirrel wanted them back so he taunted the other squirrel to get hit by a car, and then ate him.
