This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

I'm pretty sure that's just a squirrel hibernating. Don't disturb it or its parents will disown it and it'll die alone.
I bet the parents never really cared anyway
Squirrels fight in the womb so only the strong are birthed. This ensures the parental love of a parent isn't spread thin.
That makes a lot of sense. My siblings spent 18 years or more doing that. This approach is way quicker
