The two gray squirrels look like they’re training for the space program, but instead they’re just nuts. Nuts for coconuts, that is! Jane Roberts of Fareham, Hants, in Great Britain is treated to the wonderful spectacle of squirrels with coconuts on their heads every day in her backyard. She puts out two coconuts with holes cut in them for the local wildlife, and the squirrels show up day after day to pop their heads in the coconuts and eat out the delicious meat inside.
Said Ms. Roberts, 46, “The first time I saw them feeding I nearly died laughing, they looked like a pair of astronauts and even now I can not stop chuckling every time I see them. I make a large hole in the coconut so they can get to the flesh. They cannot get enough of them. I worry they might get stuck up there one day but they are clever little things.”
