A few months ago I posted some fascinating information regarding a comparison of British and Dutch tits found in Harper’s Magazine. That post can be found here

New information has now surfaced in the December issue that further increases our knowledge of tits.

In addition scientists have also learned that squirrels eat bats. This is extremely significant in that it explains why Slightly is so “bat shit crazy” – he eats bat guano!

Quote:

In a cave in the Bukk Mountains of Hungary, great tits were eating hibernating pipistrelle bats; scientists previously suspected tits of eating bats, but the only evidence had been dead bats with wounds that implicated the beaks of tits. When offered sunflower seeds and bacon, the great tits left the bats alone.

In Tanzania’s Mwofwomero Forest, a squirrel killed a fruit bat. “The least likely hypothesis is that the squirrel was preparing to eat the bat,” said the mammologist who observed the savaging of the bat by the squirrel. “Another possibility is that either the squirrel or the bat was mentally off balance.”

It is a proven fact the Red Squirrel (North Amarican, at least) raids birds nest for young to eat. All squirrels will cannibalize their young if the population is too high in a given area.

I can't vouch for squirrels, but we bats are NEVER mentally off balance. And reading through SOOI's posts here, well,............. i rest my case.

Hey, I got suckered in to see some tits (no offence to the many fine eater ladies, my interest in breats is only equaled by my respect for women....), and I feel gipped.

And, squirrels mentally off balance? Not since they got green jackboots, they haven't been....

I followed Doc in here, when I saw he posted. "It must be something worthwhile," I thought to myself. Doc has good taste in posts. And then, after realizing that the OP was by Two Sheds, I knew it would be tasteful and humorous, which it is. I agree. Squirrels with boots takes some getting used to, as it's not normal at all.

Sounds like some plastic surgery gone terribly wrong.
