Is this British Red chappie a total moral degenerate???*
I was kayaking up my local estuary once, full tide, so the river was wide, 300-400 yards say, I thought I was coming up to a piece of drift-wood, but I noticed it wasnt going with the flow of the water, it was infact a grey squirrel bang smack in the middle of the river, casually crossing to the greener tree's on the other side.
Well I didnt do neither but I did get up fairly close because I just couldnt believe what I was seeing! He knew exactly where he was going, to the greener trees on the other side! Made me wonder how frequently he made that trip.Hope you ran it over, or gave it a helpful pat on the head with your paddle.
Always amazes me how many mammals can swim. I remember watching a hare swim across a flood swollen river to get away from a fox. :Wow:
