The pope has the answer, and it's not the priests. Can you guess whose fault it all is? If you guessed godless secular society, you'd be right. It doesn't count for much, though, because you know it was an easy question. I'm not sure how it works, though. He claims that secular society was making…

Wow, that's really interesting. I've never seen a squirrel do anything like that before. I wonder if the dead one was a sibling or an offspring.

This one looks like its defending a food source. (it seems to stick its face into the meat a few times.) ground squirrels (I know this is a tree squirrel) often cannibalize their dead, sometimes with revolting conseqences. Once I was dirving along the highway and noticed some disturbance on the road ahead. When I arrived, I saw that it was a semicircle of dead groundsquirrels (one lane in radius, with the focus on the edge of the road), with more squirrels coming onto the road to eat the corpses and being squashed by vehicles. I estimate 50 to 100 cadavers.

Interesting. I imagine that the crows won in the end, it is natures way of cleaning up.

On a lighter note:
Question: Why did the squirrel cross the road?
Answer: To visit its flat mate.
