Red squirrels that live in poland are polish. The species name can be whatever, if it eats and sleeps in poland wilds its gonna be polish

Papers please

[-] cashews_best_nut@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

You can tell cos they speak Polish.

[-] Diasl@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

It was the Lonsdale slip ons that made me realise it was Polish.

[-] AngryishHumanoid@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

I mean, Poland IS in Europe so I'm afraid this title is pedantically correct.

I got this off Bluesky. No, squirrels in North America are mostly grey or black, and the red ones we do have in woodsy areas definitely don't have these ears.

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 20 points 10 months ago

It's a European red squirrel mate, I promise. The biggest population I've seen is on King Charlie's Balmoral estate in Scotland

[-] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

Yep they're also all over the place in France

[-] nodsocket@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Wrong. This is a Polish Squirrel and you can tell because of its straight ears.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 15 points 10 months ago

Swede here, this looks just like a normal squirrel we have here

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 11 points 10 months ago

Non-polish squirrels have gay ears.

Never seen that one either!

[-] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

If this squirell is this friendly and trusts people this much you must be in the Park Łazienkowski in Warsaw.

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?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
