It’s no secret I’m an avid observer…how else would I have so much nonsense to write about.
I found myself, in the park, over the weekend, watching two squirrels play. They were taking turns chasing one another…up a tree, down a tree. Hiding in bushes, jumping out. I remember thinking how cute and happy they were, until suddenly they started having sex, throwing me for a loop since one minute they were playing tag, the next, possibly making babies…right in front of my eyes.
It dawned on me, all that running around was their idea of foreplay.
I could never imagine being that frisky since it made a pole dance look like a walk in the park, no pun intended.
Or yelling, ollie ollie oxen free, in the onset of passion.
Donning lingerie is as athletic as I go.
But what disturbed me most, was me, staring like I was watching a porn flick at the local drive-in, just without a vehicle.
I’ve written about squirrels before, but boy…
it’s obvious there’s a lot I don’t know.

I remember seeing house lizards doing it once, at my native place. I wanted to shoo them away, but then decided otherwise- it is better not to disturb them in their moment of passion and heat.. God knows where they might land!

Sex is life and life is sex. It’s how we’re here, it’s why we’re here. Frolic and get laid: have fun and fulfill your destiny, all in one. Everything you have is a result of billions of years of sex. Don’t waste it. Join the squirrels and find some nuts to share.

Nothing like squirrely sex in the park. I’m sure the female was just playing hard to get … very hard to get.
Almost 20 years ago we raised a litter of baby squirrels when their tree was logged. We had to bottle feed them. Needless to say, all our children’s friends readily volunteered to help. The great-grandchildren of the originals are still showing up to eat cracked corn and bird seed each day.

Don’t blame yourself. It’s the squirrels that are the exhibitionists. 🙂 I’ve seen a lot of squirrels chasing each other here, but that’s all. Maybe New York ones are bolder.

Considering the enormous amount of squirrels roaming the earth I think your observation has answered the million dollar question “where do all these squirrels come from?”
