At least, that's what the well known actor, Sarah Jessica Parker thinks ...
Anyway, you find these nice, popular little squirrels everywhere on the outside while they are - most of their time - on a quest for food making the most awkward movements and jumps. Now, scientists believe an extraordinary evolution is occurring in squirrel population ... they are evolving from opportunist scroungers to farmers. Really, this is no joke !! They appear to be adapting their skills of burying nuts to other types of seeds and harvesting the resulting crop.
Little plots of wheat, corn and sugar beet have been found in corners of allotments and waste ground.
Landowners swear that families of squirrels have been seen hanging around these plots and appear to be picking out weeds.
Scientists are observing the situation carefully and said that :
"At this rate of evolution, we could see them moving into animal husbandry. Snail farms would be an obvious start. Exporting to France could be very lucrative for them. They could become self sufficient within a matter of a few years. It is fascinating."
No squirrels were available for comment but this guy found himself a nice piece of Papa John's pizza near the ice skating ring on the DC Mall. Bon appetit !!
