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

      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.

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

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

                  No it’s a social media app, a Twitter clone made by Jack Dorsey formerly of Twitter before old shit face bought it. It’s ok.

    My pappaw would probably say it’s so their head doesn’t get stuck in the pickle jar or something. Classic Pappaw.

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