This Squirrel Is Hellbent on Eating Some Bird Seed, and What He Does to Get It Is Amazing

Squirrels aren't the brightest creatures in the world - in fact they're pretty dumb. From their street-crossing ambivalence that ends up getting them killed to their irrational lack of fear of pest-resenting humans, squirrels sure don't fool us as to the size of their brains.

But in this case, smarts probably would've kept this squirrel from doing what he did - which was scale an impossibly huge gap Tom Cruise-style, for the most satisfying lunch he'll ever have. He may not be an actual flying squirrel, but for a  few awesome seconds he certainly thought he was. And he just made a damn good case for "ballsiest squirrel alive."
