Squirrel Plans Record-Breaking Tree Climb
Squirrel Plans Record-Breaking Tree Climb
An intrepid squirrel name Bosco de Gama is planning to climb a very large tree near the baseball fields in Central Park, New York, NY. It would be the largest tree ever topped in Central Park, and would break the long-held tree climbing height record of Sir Edmund Squeakel, set in 1919.
The squirrel will begin his ascent on Friday and is expected to summit early Sunday morning if all goes well. The Fluffington Post will keep you posted on his progress.

Shy Squirrel Hides Face With Tail
According to reports, a squirrel model at a shoot for stock photography company Getty suddenly became extremely self-conscious and hid behind her voluminous tail during a photo session. Friends aren’t sure what exactly came over the normally out-going rodent, but photographers kept snapping. The result is a series of “coy squirrel” photos that Getty says will actually fill an important niche in their collection.
