This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Squirrel King? (lemmy.world)

During a walk, my sister took a photo of squirrels with their tails matted and knotted together. I’ve heard of rat kings, but would this be considered a squirrel king?

I never knew Squirrel Kings were a thing, they appear to mostly happen to siblings

wouldn’t have expected this to be a wiki entry but now I’m curious what other animals could he burdened by this circumstance

I wonder if it's the same from that page, on the 11th, in Bend, Oregon

Wow, thanks for sharing this. My first impression was that they were acting like daddy long legs, but no, this is bad.
