PITTSBURGH — A Pittsburgh area couple thought it was pretty strange that almost all the walnuts that had fallen from a black walnut tree in their yard had disappeared without a trace. <br />According to CBS News, that was because a bunch of overactive squirrels had been storing them all—under the hood of the couple's SUV. <br />Chris Persic told KDKA that his wife Holly called from Northland Library and said it smelled like her car was burning, and that it was making a weird sound. <br />Persic told her to pop open the hood and have a look. She then sent over a hilarious picture with more than 200 walnuts and grass piled up under the hood of their Kia. <br />Persic had to rent a car and then go over to help his wife clean out all the nutty nuts, which took them almost an hour. <br />What's even more nuts is that after they took the vehicle into the shop, they found another half a trashcan worth of walnuts under the engine too. <br />Looks like these squirrels were planning for the next zombie apocalypse. <br />Luckily, the stashed walnuts didn't do any serious damage to the couple's ride. <br />The squirrels were asked for a comment on the incident, but did not respond before the story went to print.
