What's that squirrel at the end gonna do with that pile of poo?

woowoo293 t1_izl647n wrote

There's a line in the snow connecting the poop to the pic of the ice cream with the special treat on top.

I'm currently trying to re-learn my gif-editing skills from 2006. I'm sure this thing could be a widget or whatever.

When did City utilities start employing squirrels? Got to admit it's a bit genius

No joke an army of squirrels trained to do this would probably prevent a lot of blackouts in heavy snows

Its not the snow that gets you, its the ice and wind. Squirrels love to chew on cable.

Ya I work in the industry and our number one enemy is the squirrels

Ordoo t1_izltcd9 wrote

Unfortunately they are also their own worst enemy

The second is the electricity.

That is a telephone cable btw not power, and squirrels are the cause of a huge amount of problems. If you look at the very beginning of the clip you will see a black cylinder. That is a closure meant to protect the wires from the elements. The problem is the squirrels love to make those things home. I’ve climbed many poles to open those things and have them jump out at me.

I have a love hate relationship with squirrels. I love them because they have made me a lot of money in overtime, I hate them because they have been the reason I have been forced to work a lot of overtime.

Unfortunately, squirrels cause something like 8% of all blackouts in the US, so it's the least they could do.

It's a squirrel, I thought it was a mechanical spider, then I thought it was three birds, the one in the back looking out for them

It's a long-distance view of a squirrel on an electrical wire that's got inches of snow on top of it. Squirrel is bumping the snow off a few inches at a time. Took me a WHILE to figure that wasn't an insect on a frosted window.

Im puzzled anyone thought it was anything but a squirrel at first glance 🤣

Do you not have squirrels were you live?

staynuplate t1_izligrx wrote

It's not an electrical wire, it's cable infrastructure for ISPs

Communications cable btw

The black thing on the left in the first frame is a splice box for copper lines

JaceTheWoodSculptor t1_izkc552 wrote

I honestly think it knows exactly what it’s doing. If he runs over the snow he risks falling. This is slower but safer and probably still faster than moving on the ground. It even looks like he has a rhythm going.
