This squirrel is a songbird killer.

In nature the need for protein made this squirrel do the unthinkable.

Witness the video proof that squirrels will eat meat.

In nature wildlife will do anything to survive and that’s a fact.

That statement is especially true with this video shared on Facebook by Keli Black. It shows a squirrel that is clearly eating a bird. Yes that friendly backyard feeder friend of yours has a hidden dark side.

There is video footage of even deer and rabbits eating meat on occasion. When protein and minerals are needed wildlife will turn from nuts, berries and leaves to red meat in a heart beat. Just be glad squirrels aren’t bigger than us or we would be in big trouble.
