Don’t fool yourselves, a squirrel would murder you and everyone you loved given the chance

Furlow the squirrel-o is offended by your unfounded accusations.

More seriously though. Given abundance of food basically everything we 'know' about animal species interaction gets thrown out the window.

At any moment outside my window you find a dozen species eating side by side every single day that we were told would 'for sure kill each other before sharing a food source'.

What that says about scarcity in relation to humanity I'll leave to someone else...

The animals in my yard behave very differently than the animals a couple of hundred yards away in the woods.
