I got nervous for the future when I saw this.

Well, at least they're fighting back, as any well-trained costumed crimefighter should do!

My mind must be warped somehow (okay, more warped than I already thought). I immediately thought "man, it's no wonder the Flying Squirrel couldn't bear to share territory with the Red Squirrel! They're competing species!"

Poor little red cuties. Glad to see they're developing resistance.

Lark. If you are still making your way through the last season I don't want to give anything away. But there is a new
Character known as the Red Squirrel.
We don't want to see anthing happen to the Red Squirrel.

Here in California we have a vanishing number of gray squirrels. Ever since the Civil War when soldiers stationed here (um, guys? The fighting's that-a way!) imported brown squirrels because they reportedly "tasted better" and looked dog gone cuter. The brown squirrels tended to displace the more docile grays. As a result if you ever see a squirrel around here (and I do all the time) it's nearly always brown. Just like everywhere else in the country.

Poor gray squirrels. They're bigger than the browns, too. Just not as aggressive. I guess they'd better move to England.

We've almost nothing but greys in MN cities. Not sure I've ever seen a brown, but we've reds in the countryside.

Have you seen the trailer for the Ice Age 3 movie?

The new squirrel thingy reminded me of the Flying Squirrel towards the end of the trailer, which leaves me to wonder who Scrat would be.
