My friend Spiderman.

Well he isn't a man but a black squirrel.



He crawls along brick walls and jumps from trees like spiderman. He's fearless and puts the run to any animal that comes into his area. Damn noisy talker too. He's cute as hell. I've seen bold rodentia in rural areas but in a city of 700K? Nope.

He looks more like Venom.

There's a small town in Kansas that boasts of its population of melanistic squirrels. Your Spidey would fit right in there.

Does whatever a spider can. Action is his reward. Well, and nuts. I hope he's aware that with great power, comes great responsibility! Cool little fellow!

He looks like he's built like a brick sh*thouse, what's he been doing other than climbing around everywhere? He definitely presents like an "alpha"

I've never seen a black squirrel before. Very cool.

a reply to: intrepid

I bet he's a lot more enjoyable to watch than most of those movies

Complete with exclusive photos. You sure you aint Peter Parker?


Never had black ones local. Had red behemoths in Michigan. Little ratty grey ones in FL.

I am happy to find you well old friend!

Fun fact;
seeing a black squirrel is the opposite of spotting a black cat..its good luck, a veritable get out of jail free card!

P.s.

I just made that fact up...

I have seen black squirrels before, but never one flexing.

I think he is posturing up on you!

You better check yourself.

That squirrel looks ripped to Sh!t...

Hide those anabolic steroids... Quick...

Strange thing happened this morning. He wouldn't come up on the deck with a couple of blue jays scarfing his nuts. He puts a run to any squirrel. He had some nasty battle scars over the winter. The one on his head wasn't made by a squirrel. A cat probably. Blue jays though and nay nay. I'm wondering why.

He is a member of the Afghan tribe of Black North American Squirrels. They are feuding with the powerful yet splintered McClenaghan clan of grey proto Squirrel.

The McClenaghans are nomadic and only establish seasonal territory. The Afghans are more territorial year round and are furious guardsmen of their ancestral groves.

Its a war the grey McClenaghans can not win.

Their Irish brothers from across the pond will never know of the struggle that their kind went through in the new world.

EDIT TO ADD:
Beware of falling nuts. The Afghans have honed the capability of precision orbital bombardment on moving targets. Running is of no use, the branches of the Afghans stretch far and wide.

It is best to give them their due tribute and stay on their good side. If you do provide aid and comfort to the grey enemy resistance, be aware that you do so at your own peril.
