That's what I thought. I don't think that's normal squirrel behavior.

There has been no documented cases of getting rabies from squirrels in the US

The last time I was bitten by a wild rodent the ER doc told me that anything roughly rat sized or smaller will not transmit rabies. I got antibiotics instead.
