I have been seeing this for years! They eat snakes, mice, lizards, Jerusalem crickets, bird eggs and so much more! Good luck trying to grow anything as well!
I saw a Ground squirrel peel the head of a sparrow like a grape right in front of me at the Vending machine row by the sculpture garden at UCLA. This was in 1984.
You know how when it rains worms make their way out of the soil & grass onto the sidewalk? Well when the water begins to dry off, the worms also start to dry out but are still alive. That’s when I’ve seen squirrels scoop them up and run away.
Not exactly accurate, the squirrels may see the other rodents as a threat to their food supply. And they may become more omnivorous during times of such scarcity.
I'm not an animal scientist, but I do play one on TH-cam -- it is about food scarcity and territory -- squirrels will fight with other squirrels over territory and likely with other rodents who squirrels feel are rival competitors, not as a predatory 'hunting' nature but as a threat. Squirrels are likely not eating mice and rats as the term 'predator' may imply but simply, they will fight other rodents to the death over food resources and territory as a means of survival. In fact, some squirrels will kill baby squirrels from other nests, even cases studies of mother squirrels killing their own babies.
they eat their babies widly known they are omnivores this is nothing but clickbait..anyone that knows squirrels knows this ive seen it this is a lot to do about nothing and this year in california we have a record number of acorns...and now voles
Some of these observations seem pretty silly. Like, have these researchers never previously seen squirrels? I've seen squirrels eat birds, chipmunks, rats, heck, even other smaller squirrels. One that really made me facepalm recently was a study that found that cats can be affectionate and bond with humans or other animals. Like bro, were you not allowed pets as a child? Like, maybe we should be largely ignoring papers written by freshman. They're just doing busywork to learn the academic process, it's not serious research.
I found that out a long long time ago in San Francisco candle stick park, those ones were very aggressive. That was in 2011, they hung around the bbq area. You threw them meat, they ate it. Different areas have different kinds. In San Mateo next to the lake, those are more regular ones. You give them peanuts, they just eat peanuts. They don't eat meats.
Bro my dog still remember there calls these squirrels might bite her lol but they hide the whole time maybe because the two dogs is right out the hole lol
Wait, they have tasted flesh ? We. Are . Screwed .
😂😂😂😂
No one believed me when I said they took my uncle…

They identify as tigers.
Who are you to call them “they”. You should be cancelled.
It’s hard out here for a squirrel.

You may not know this, but chickens will eat and fight over a mouse with other chickens.
I knew that.
chickens eat insects so not surprising
This was already known.. Just like deer eat birds..
Maybe mice are a threat to their newborns
They are omnivores so this is not surprising news at all. They eat birds too there's TH-cam videos.
i just posted the same...this is click bait and they eat their babies also...rodents vs rodents!
Don't you mean "Omnipotent?"
everyone knows this... how much did this study cost? a billion point 2 trillion
Vegetation dries up due to drought, a squirrel gotta eat to live 🥩🐿️
To check out a great population of ground squirrels, go to Santiago Park in Santa Ana
Soon we’ll hear about this vicious Squirrel of Caerbannog.
Look, that squirrel’s got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!

I just love that somewhere out there a vegan is losing their mind right now
Red squirrels annihilate birds

The deer eats rabbits, and the pelican eats pigeons.
A squirrel was seen carrying a semi-automatic weapon. He is a member of the notorious Train de Acorn gang.
I actually had no idea they did this! 😮
I for one welcome our new Californian Predatorial Overlords. ... I guess Gavin Newsom has some competition.
Must be meth squirrels
I've seen ground squirrels,they look a lot like chipmunks. That's a squirrel 😮
Yes, a california ground squirrel.
Shiba Inu Doge does the same thing. They love mice
I have seen squirrel literally eating another squirrel years ago
I didn't now this 😮

They know they're the boss. They stand all the way up and look at me saying "Bring it on" knowing I really can't do much about them.
But they could just be protecting their territory
do they pay taxes?
Food may be getting scarce for the critters
City squirrels had to adapt, there isn't enough traditional squirrel food in the city for all the squirrels that are running around!
I had always hated people who fed the squirrels on university campus and parks. they don't know what they had done.
Chickens eat their own eggs too 😢
Reminds me of some of the gangland robberies we've seen recently on the news
It's a jungle out there folks, stay safe !
Thats a tree squirrel.
I saw a Gofer at the Park the other day eating a Mice, looked scary. Gofer pulled the Mice inside the ground hole
I hate golfers too.
I've had ground squirrels eat my quails
Some look like tree squirrels.
Maybe they've been eating rodents all these years.
I seent one of these squirrels ..I tried to run from it but it picked me up with it's man powers and shook me like a dog
Maybe the squirrel is rabid
Squirrelgrape….
Bro my dog still remember there calls these squirrels might bite her lol but they hide the whole time maybe because the two dogs is right out the hole lol
California,

Zombie squirrels..

He/she/zi/sir identify as California big cats not squirrels
Bubbalicious!!😊

Did they get the zombie shots?
Y’all didn’t know that? It’s a known fact in the south
