Yesterday I saw one of my local squirrels leap from the ground on the hill to a tree branch a good three feet up and to the side.

Impressive.

Today, while outside, I saw another squirrel clearly under the influence of either PCP or Mars go crashing out onto the thin, far end of a long branch on a tree directly across the street, and then without even the slightest pause, ferociously launch itself 14 feet out and down directly into the middle of the street, where it landed full body with a very audible thwack. Unfazed, without missing a beat, it sprinted up the hill and off to do something very important.

Truly stunning. It doesn't sound like much, but when was the last time you saw a fairly large rodent launch itself fourteen feet down onto concrete?

I'm impressed. The 'coons are going to have to work hard to top that.
