Mildly Interesting

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.

I got this off Bluesky. No, squirrels in North America are mostly grey or black, and the red ones we do have in woodsy areas definitely don't have these ears.

It's a European red squirrel mate, I promise. The biggest population I've seen is on King Charlie's Balmoral estate in Scotland

Yep they're also all over the place in France

Wrong. This is a Polish Squirrel and you can tell because of its straight ears.

Swede here, this looks just like a normal squirrel we have here
