When you see wild animals in your backyard, it often makes you smile at their beauty and behavior. One exception is squirrels. I used to think that squirrels were cute and fun little creatures. Now I think that squirrels are very strange creatures. I think that squirrels are strange because squirrels never listen to you, squirrels react strangely to normal situations, and squirrels can do many amazing acrobatic stunts.
Squirrels are very strange creatures. A reason why is that squirrels never seem to listen to you. For example, when I was looking out into my backyard, a squirrel was eating a very nice-looking flower that my mother bought. When I tried to stop him by yelling and knocking on the window, this squirrel just kept chewing on the flower beside it. This shows me that the squirrel didn’t get scared of loud noises as most small animals (cats, dogs, and birds) would and instead chooses to continue eating flowers.
Another reason that I think that squirrels are strange is because they react strangely to normal situations. In situations where most animals (including humans) would run away, squirrels stare at you. For example, one day when I was in the park, I noticed a group of people throwing sticks, garbage, and rocks at a squirrel on top of a fence (which is mean). The squirrel just ate his/her acorn and periodically looked up from his/her acorn to stare at the people. Then, when the squirrel finished eating his/her acorn, he/she went down the other side of the fence while the people yelled at him. This shows me that this particular squirrel doesn’t care about the threatening people until he/she actually is hit by something.
The final reason that I think that squirrels are strange is because they do many acrobatic jumps, stunts etc. This is not necessarily a bad trait for squirrels. One example is when I was walking to school in the morning; a squirrel scampered past me and to the fence next to me. The main fence’s holes were smaller than my hand but there was an additional smaller wire fence on top of that. Its holes were smaller than my finger. The squirrels climbed the ledge and seemingly went through the fence. After that, he climbed up a tree in 2 seconds and jumped about 10 feet over to the tree next to it. I had thought there was a hole in both fences, but on closer examination, there was nothing there. This shows me that squirrels are able to do many amazing things (I still don’t know how it happened).
Many people might argue that the reasons that I think squirrels are strange are just part of a squirrels’ nature and that squirrels don’t care about humans. But I still think that squirrels strange. All other wild animals don’t act the way squirrels do, except for chipmunks (which are related to squirrels, I wish people would just accept that squirrels are strange.
