Hump Day Inspiration: The Little Squirrel That Could

by Denise Croote '16

This three-minute clip tells the timeless tale of predator and prey, of a bright-eyed and bushy tailed young squirrel eager to take on the world and a particularly malicious hawk hungry for lunch. In a way, we were all bright-eyed, bushy tailed squirrels simply trying to enjoy the Brown experience, until all of these midterms just before Spring Break tried to eat us.  Nevertheless, survive we must and prevail we shall.

If you've ever wondered about the facial expressions of a squirrel as a hawk is shaking it from a tree, this video has your answer. If you could care less about a hawk-squirrel hunt, this video will still astound you with its HD 1080p resolution. How this was caught on film is a complete mystery.

Good luck, fellow squirrels!  (If you're a hawk, well, good luck to you too, but please don't eat me.)
