This is obviously not this guy’s first vole. Of the day.
Will NATO get involved?
It’s amazing how people turned their eyes when it was “just” squirrel-on-squirrel violence but now that voles are suffering, it’s suddenly so important.
Buried crunchy thing that’s high in protein… obviously a nut. It’s not the squirrel’s fault that some nuts are less sedentary than others.
Squirrels/voles…psh, that’s small potatoes.
The real war is raccoons against the possums. And the raccoons have enlisted the aid of the wild boars.
And so it begins.
That’s a tough looking squirrel. Ears nibbled to nubs, tail not so bushy, remains from its kill all over the face.
Squirrels are also known to eat turtles.
Looks like maybe a pregnant one needing extra protein for the babies.
So a squirrel is basically just a zombie vole?
…and baby birds, tree frogs, beetles, etc.
And bones. 
That critter has the “don’t fuck with me, I’ve had a HELLUVA day, and imma EAT this f’ing bastard” expression.
Same, buddy. Same.
