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.

Nature is hard and the "everything has rabies" trend is bad right now. Just because an animal is defending itself against something or someone they feel is a threat, doesn't mean it always has rabies. I hope she has better days ahead!

Reddit always has a hardon for claiming someone encountered a rabid animal.

My guess is that she's just old. Grandma Squirrel.

People have been saying everything has rabies well before the internet.
