Squirrels

Turns out some states might be totally cool with you having a pet squirrel. Is your state one of them?

These animals know what's up. They know your secret. They know you're in on the joke. They know how to close their eyes one at a time. They know how to be adorable. They know how to wink.

We're glad this guy's instinct when he found a squirrel in his kitchen was to grab a camera and record it, rather than grab a broom and start screaming. The squirrel seems pretty panicked (what squirrel doesn't?), but maybe it was just gathering up speed for what might be the greatest escape in the history of animals trapped in kitchens...

As we all know, squirrels are whizzes at finding nuts.  But when it comes to most other things, the rodent species isn't always so bright.

A couple in Pennsylvania captured a purple squirrel on their property. No one knows why it is purple, but otherwise it seems to be a normal, healthy squirrel.

This squirrel maintains a firm grip as he spins around on the SquirrelStop bird feeder for an amazing more than 2 minutes.

Squirrels can be pesky and annoying. They get into bird feeders, stealing food and making a mess. They chatter at you and your pets when you go outside. They run out in front of your car, causing you to swerve dangerously or just run them over like some kind of rodent serial killer. There definitely shouldn’t be a day set aside for appreciating them.

Michael Jackson has been dead for over two years, but his amazing legacy of song and dance lives on in this video of squirrels boogie-ing to the King of Pop's all-time party-starting jam 'Don't Stop Tll You Get Enough.'

Admit it: at some point, you've been baited into the time-suck that is watching adorable cat videos on YouTube like a kitten to a ball of yarn. We've all been there. Well, my gato-gawking friends, TheFW is here to tell you that cute kitties are SO last year. To help ...

It sounds impossible, but a squirrel set off a fire alarm at an elementary school in Ellenton, Florida. Did he forget to study for a test?

We've seen kittens and turtles wielding 'Star Wars' lightsabers before. And now a chattering little squirrel gets the Jedi treatment in this hysterical video. Who would win in a duel? Our money's on this force-sensitive squirrel.

Two questions seem to arise when watching Bubba the squirrel, as it's been dubbed, tangle his hands and mouth in his presumed owner's hair. First, why would anyone allow this animal to play with their hair? And second, why would someone own a squirrel?

Squirrels have a near-pathological obsession with nuts. So you can imagine how crazy the little fury guy in this video went when he got stuck inside a peanut butter jar.

During Wednesday night's playoff game between Philadelphia and St. Louis, a squirrel ran right across home plate as Phillies hurler Roy Oswalt threw a pitch. Now the varmint has his own Twitter account with over 20,000 followers. Check out the video that made him famous below:

A squirrel ran onto the field at a women's soccer match this weekend in what was either an attempt to either make the team or ask one of the women out on a date. If it's the former, he didn't help his cause by running around in circles and then laying down. If it was the latter, well he was darn adorable, so one of the ladies might say yes.
