For those who are skeptical about the black squirrel attack in Russia, I have something for you:

Squirrel Attacks Deer

This is a video link and it is NOT graphic.  As of this posting, the video is clean and is exactly what it says it is. (If this changes, it will be pulled.)

Normally, we don' t encourage the viewing of videos of squirrels that were taken without the squirrel's permission. In fact, we are trying to eliminate the existence of such videos.

However, with the SIB's permission, I am posting it so that readers will know that squirrels are quite capable of standing up to large animals when they need to.

Enjoy.

Oh, and to all those scientists in Russia who doubt that tiny, sweet, defenseless squirrels could ever do anything so bold as to kill a dog to feed themselves -
