Kungfu Squirrel vs a Dog

I was looking through my animal pictures and stumble upon this. It’s a titanic battle between a squirrel and a dog, two of nature’s most dangerous beasts (notice the irony Wink). I forgot what the background to this story was, but I’ll provide my own personal commentary on it.

The dog just caught a baby squirrel. There doesn’t appear to be any injuries to it. Canines in the wild would kill or “play” with prey this size, injuring it. Domesticated dogs rely on their owners for food, so seeing an animal like this doesn’t elicit a predatory response. The mother squirrel is acting very aggressively with her tail pointing forward.

The adult squirrel attacks the dog to distract it from the baby. It is too small to injure or harm the much bigger dog, but it’s goal is to get it’s attention away from the baby.

A canine in the wild would anniliate a squirrel in seconds, but domesticated dogs aren’t used to hunting other animals. They’ve been fed by their owners since they were puppies, so they never rely on their animal instincts to hunt for food. This dog looks more freightened than the squirrel, because it’s probably never had a creature so small attack it.

Baby and mother, safe up a tree.Razz Not like the dog was going to hurt them. It could, but it’s been too domesticated for too long to know what to do.

I though I would share something so interesting. It’s not too often that things like this gets recorded.
