Purple Squirrel

When I first heard this story on the news I was wondering what these people were drinking. :D

A purple squirrel was caught around the area where I live.

You can read the story here and see the photo.

I saw a video of the squirrel earlier this weekend, one does wonder what he got into that turned him that color!

I would love to see this-- it must have gotten into something unless it's some kind of trick of nature.

I wonder how safe the dyes in rivers & golf course ponds are & releasing squirrels in an open corn field makes them very vulnerable to other critters with no trees to climb?:eek:

Squirrels can run pretty fast. I doubt there is any real danger here to them.

There are coyotes here & I have seen them catch squirrels out in the open fields. The squirrels can run but if there aren't any trees close by they don't always make it. :( That is the natural world of the wild animals prey & predator.
