Have you heard there is a new ultimate squirrel fight going on this weekend?
My bet is on El Guapo, I have ten walnuts on him winning in the 2nd round.
I am placing my bets on Tito the Cheeto. I'm certain he will pull a submission in the third round.
C'mon guys don't you know that all those squirrel fights are staged? Why are you wasting your winter stores on sports gambling?
I just earned my first walnut working at the orchard. I'm gonna YOLO my earnings on the underdog.
The fight begins with Tito the Cheeto giving his famous glare at El Guapo. The crowd of squirrels up in the trees gave a huge cheer at this signature move.
El Guapo responded with a dramatic chipmunk expression. Then he flexed his arms and let out a bark with the crowd booing him.
Wait guys I need to place my bet before the fight begins. I'll put one walnut on El Guapo.
For about ten rounds they chased each other around this tree barking and squawking like crazy. This fight is going into overtime with no clear hits or damage being done so far.
Finally El Guapo was able to give a loud roar and scare Tito the Cheeto out of the ring resulting in a loss. Sadly since the fight took so long the audience has already left and their walnut winnings were stolen by the chipmunk bookies again.
The organizer of the fight gets 10% of the bookies' profits. No one knows his name and no squirrel has ever learned of his identity. He thrives on guerilla marketing campaigns with cryptic fight promotion messages chewed into the sides of trees. Why do the poor working class squirrels keep falling for these illegal gambling fights? Anything for a little bit of entertainment after a long day of collecting walnuts and propeller seeds.
Amazing captures, this was some real photo sniping yo!
Rawr!
Thanks :-) those critters are all over the place here.
I admire your camera shots, very rare moments you have such an amazing talent.
The squirrels are great posers.
Thanks @ackhoo :-)
Hahaha funny 😆 lol
Great captures and story 😎🤩
I need to try and get some video of the squirrel fights, its pretty hilarious looking.
Yes, that would be pretty hilarious 😂 🤣😎 funny little creatures.
Your photos are top notch and that entertainment I could sit and watch for hours. Such feisty little buggers.
The bookie is actually a cousin of my long lost pet "apparently" and his ethos is that if anyone knows, they'll be a swimming with the fishes, but you didn't hear that from me
The crime world of the squirrel kingdom is pretty fierce. I'm sure one of them knows an owl or two just in case they need to call in the big guns.
Oh gosh I just imagined that. Shame, poor squirrels, but I guess that's the fate when you play in that arena.
They have their squirrel warning sounds for when a hawk or owl is in the area. It helps me try and spot them for a photo.
Hey I know that squirrel...
"Why it's good old reliable Nathan!
Nathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit!
If you're looking for action, he'll furnish the spot
Even when the heat is on, it's never too hot
Not for good old reliable Nathan!
Where it's always just a short walk
To the oldest established, permanent floating..." (*)

LOL! And typical of the chipmunks...
They are the ultimate thieves.
Great composition and pretty great angle! loooks sooo cute 😀
good name too.
They like to stop and look at you making it easy to take photos.
Amazing story line to take one through events, many little lessons to learn here!
Excellent photography, your squirrel clan look healthy and fit.
They have it easy over here with all the walnut, acorn and propeller seed trees. Their biggest problems are their various squabbles and the occasional hawk or owl that comes by.
No wonder they squabble with each other, nothing better to do except high tail into a tree when big birds appear 🙂
It's the squirrel utopia experiment around here.
Looks like utopia for them to run amok.
