Have you ever seen a squirrel linger near a fallen companion or act strangely after losing a mate? It’s hard not to wonder what’s going on in their little heads. Squirrels sometimes withdraw, move less, or stay close to a dead partner—behaviors that hint they might feel something like sadness or grief. Let’s dig into…
Maybe you’ve seen a wild headline and wondered—could a squirrel actually kill someone? The short answer: it’s extremely rare for squirrels to cause fatalities, with only a handful of confirmed cases tied to illness or some weird virus transmission. Most risks come from disease, bites, or rare viruses—not from squirrels chasing or attacking people. As…
Picture a squirrel tumbling from a tall tree, then scampering away like nothing even happened. Ever wondered how they pull that off? Their small size, loose posture in midair, and bushy tail all help them slow down and land with way less force than, say, a cat or a human. Squirrels rarely die from falling….
You’ve probably seen those claims online about squirrel hair coming from animals killed for their fur.

Usually, there’s a reason behind their sudden absence—sometimes they’re nesting with babies, hiding out during cold snaps, searching for food elsewhere, or, unfortunately, falling prey to predators. Most of the time, squirrels disappear because they’ve moved to a new spot…
If you’ve seen a “couldn’t run squirrel hook” message when updating or installing an app, you’re not alone. This usually pops up because the installer tried to run a program (a hook) after unpacking files, but just couldn’t launch it. Most of the time, you can fix this by making sure the hook executable matches…
You’ll get the “Couldn’t run Squirrel hook, continuing” message when an app installer tries to run a helper program, but that helper just doesn’t launch. Usually, the installer skips post-install steps like creating shortcuts or adding an uninstall entry—so it’s smart to check the app’s logs and make sure the hook executable matches your OS….
People use squirrel meat in all sorts of familiar dishes—think chicken, rabbit, or even pork recipes. It fits right in with stews, braises, dumplings, fried plates, and slow-cooker meals.
