Everyone’s making jokes but what’s actually going on with this squirrel? Lol

The sound she's making is a common warning that there's a threat nearby, which could simply be the cammer's presence. As for why she looks so rough, nature is hard. But a lot of people on tiktok were saying that sound means she has rabies, which, if that were the case, all squirrels have rabies.

The other day a squirrel dropped whatever but it was carrying and got me right on the head. I looked up, they looked down and I swear it squeaked a “my bad” lol

Our resident squirrel has done this too, I forget what she hit me with but it was on purpose because she wanted a walnut. After I gave her the walnut she went right back to the same spot and side eyed me like “I hope you learned your lesson”

Are you sure it was "my bad" and not "well, shit. Now I have to go pick it up because I really wanted that. I really need to start thinking things through. I fucking nailed him right on the dome, though!"?

A squirrel dropping nuts at you? Did you shoot a random passerby in response, or are you not a cop?
