’MURICA — If you’re easily grossed out by the sight of Mother Nature in all of her raw and unadulterated glory, then perhaps it’s time to look away now. <br /> <br /> <br />But those of you who think the natural world is completely awesome should stay tuned in for this one. <br /> <br /> <br />Stunningly clear video footage has captured a hungry and determined squirrel chowing down on an unfortunate mouse. <br /> <br /> <br />And you thought squirrels were vegetarians. <br /> <br /> <br />Well, apparently not. So yes, while it’s true that squirrels love nuts, they’re not exactly what you’d call fussy eaters. <br /> <br /> <br />Although several varieties of the species are in fact herbivores that live on a plant-based diet, many squirrels are omnivores with an unequivocal taste for meat. <br /> <br /> <br />Some ground squirrels like nothing better than scarfing down on insects, worms and even small mice — something clearly demonstrated in this video.
