Squirrels can be very territorial and their claws would cause far more damage than their bite, but killing a dog (And a big dog from the article) is just :eek:

Shouldn't be surprised by this. Rats can take down a dog if there are enough of them and squirrels are basically rats in trees.

They are said to have scampered off at the sight of humans, some carrying pieces of flesh.

that is crazy, mad squirrels !!!! I would **** myself if I saw that going on. I wonder if there is any truth in it or if the story has been exagerated by the russian press

For some reason this news topic seems to appear time and time again.

Look at the date on it, 2001.

Yup, the snake exploding after eating the croc story was the top e-mail story again on the BBC site a few days ago......

Yeah, they need to get rid of that "most emailed" thing. It's obvious that hardly anyone uses it hence why old stories keep re-appearing. Normally I do check the date but I got caught out with this one.

Meh I'm getting old, did not see the 2005 date, but wait, what if that was the last ever news to come from that place, maybe the squirrels have eaten everyone there and they're now spreading out over Europe looking for even more flesh! Or not.
