If we had not relocated to upper left corner of the lower 48, we would have spent many hours entertaining our toddler at Cuesta Park in Mountain View, CA. A 4-year-old received too much entertainment there last week when a squirrel wrestled him for the muffin he was holding. Scratched and bitten, the boy is now undergoing a series of precautionary rabies shots. The aggressive squirrel behavior is linked to new trash receptacles with latches and a campaign cautioning park goers from feeding the animals. Six people have been attacked by squirrels this summer in the park. Ouch.
