I'm guessing most people in here haven't had to interact with a tense squirrel in a confined area before. Squirrels look cute when they're sitting with their twitchy fluffy tails and extremities tucked in or jumping/climbing around gracefully.
The reality, squirrels are huge up close (cat sized), have extremely muscular physiques, and fucking claws like a Velociraptor. I'll admit though with trying to find pictures online that it turns out my local breed is just a larger species of the family but there's really no photography I'm finding out there of them. Guess it's time to learn some new skills and post up the group that lives around the house.
