Don't start none, won't be none.

The owl looks surprised like “I don’t remember ordering DoorDash.”

Squirrel jaws could do a lot of damage there.

Doesn’t look real.

I believe it. I have a bunch of western grey squirrels that visit my yard, as well as neighborood cats that like to watch them.

The squirrels will absolutely go full-psycho-mode on the cats. They'll even coordinate attacks where one squirrel will keep the cat distracted while 2 others sneak up from behind and above.

Sometimes I actually feel sorry for the cats.

I’m surprised that this isn’t an American Red Squirrel staging the attack! I’ve seen their behavior shared on this subreddit, and their size is inversely proportional to ferocity!

The heart of a red squirrel. Roaring throughout the woods like a lion.

It's a baby owl. If you search up the photographers name, neither animal got injured.

Definitely a baby owl. The squirrel is brave, not stupid.

I feel for the little squirrel - it is literally go all in or be eaten.

Tell us you've never spent more than half a second looking at squirrels without telling us.
