As I was driving I saw a squirrel struggling in a pain on the road. His body was flipping up in the air, and his eyes were closed, and his tail was bent. He had obviously been run over.
When I saw him, I decided to finish him off with my own vehicle – poor little guy.
For the people who disapprove: I’m sorry!!! But it was dying a slow death. From it’s condition there was no way it could have survived with medical attention. I just didn’t want it to die slow – that’s the worse kind of death.
Which of the following is not an example of a terrestrial ectotherm’s adjusting its body temperature through control of energy gains and losses?
A. A snake emerging from rocks to bask in the morning sun.
B.A population of frogs seeking shade under a tree.
C. A spider burrowing into the cool soil.
D. A squirrel on a tree branch basking in the late afternoon sun.

can i hunt rabbit w/this gun? what about squirrel? if i can hunt rabbit w/this gun, what distance do u recommend taking the shot + where on the body should i be aiming for?
So me and my boyfriend went for a jog in the afternoon and we saw a grey squirrel on the ground. At first we saw it’s tail moving in circles and then we saw it’s body. It look as if it was stretching and then we threw twigs at it and it didn’t run away, we poke it with a stick and it kept stretching. It’s body look like something was underneath it twitching the squirrel’s body around but the squirrel look like it was controlling it’s own moves. We thought it was giving birth but nothing. What could be happening? Did it fall out of a tree, but then we second that and assume squirrels are too light to just fall out of trees. It was an adult grey squirrel. We didn’t see the squirrels face entirely because the nose and mouth was facing the leaves on the ground and I almost thought it was opening it’s mouth. Out of superstition since rarely are grey squirrel spotted at that certain park we jog and that there were only ground squirrels, we left it alone. : /

Sorry I don’t have a picture, but there is a bird on my feeder that has burgundy or ruby colored head and chest. The rest of his body is dark colored (black). Any ideas? It is beautiful. I live in Northwest Florida. The birds we see regularly are black-capped chickadees, cardinals, tufted titmouse, house wrens, and the occasional blue jay. Oh don’t forget the SQUIRRELS, but only on the feeders that aren’t squirrel proof. I’m ready for the hummingbirds too, but I haven’t seen any yet this year.
If you could provide a link to a picture so I can compare please that would be appreciated. What a pretty bird! The colors are magnificent on the bird on my feeder!

Ok, I’m getting a pellet gun soon. But I want something with some real power. The power range I’m looking for is a gun that’ll kill a squirrel with a body shot from about 20 to 30 yards away. What gun will do exactly that?
And I won’t be hunting squirrels. That’s just the kind of power I’m looking for. Thanks!!
