Funny Squirrel Photos: Squirrels Who Did Crimes and Got Caught
January 21st is an important day of the year: Squirrel Appreciation Day! We love these furry little buggers, but we also must recognize that they love to get into places they're not supposed to. From bird feeders to people's homes, breaking and entering is a favorite squirrel pastime. Many of them are guilty of other crimes too, such as stealing food, panhandling, and even starting fights! So on their special day, we've decided not to let squirrels off the hook.
In that spirit, here are some very entertaining photos and stories of squirrels doing stuff they're not supposed to. They say it's only a crime if you get caught--by that standard, these squirrels are absolutely criminals. We can't bring ourselves to say they should be punished though…they're just too cute!

Luckily, they weren't too hard on him--they noticed he was very tired and gave him some honey to make him feel better.

This squirrel thought he'd partake of a feast of nuts in a bird feeder and was instantly hit by karma. He ate so much that he got too bloated to get back out of the cage!

In this video we see why you should never challenge a squirrel to a duel. This squirrel was trying to get ahold of the video poster's food, so he holds up a spoon and tells the squirrel "I'll fight you for it!" Bad idea. The squirrel obliges…
