Squirrely?

So this morning I was walking to class and I happened to notice a squirrel seated at the base of a trash can. This wasn't exciting in itself, but it was looking with extreme concentration (way too much for a normal squirrel) at the top of the can. I, myself wondering what could be holding its attention so tightly, looked to see if I could find the source of its entrancement. I was able to locate the source, which I found to be a second squirrel who was trying to retrieve a plate from the can (no wonder there is always a mess around the base of the trash cans). As I watched it continued with its task and freed the plate so that it would be able to take it down to the ground. Having such a large object in its mouth it seemed to have trouble figuring out how to best get down. It eventually accomplished this in what appeared a very clumsy matter of jumping off the can, and then both squirrels went to work trying to find what they could salvage from the plate. A very funny sight if I do say so myself.
