A ground squirrel with cheeks stuffed with nuts, seeds or grains is a common sight. But a new study provides the first evidence that California ground squirrels also hunt, kill and eat voles. The study, led by the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and University of California, Davis, is the first to chronicle widespread carnivorous behavior among squirrels.

While watching the #HollyBlueButterflies at #WWTCastleEspie today I noticed this one land on the muddy path.
It seemed to be #feeding but then landed on the remains of a young thrush/blackbird and continued to feed.
It was probably after essential minerals but I like to think it was #carnivorous, like the #BeastOfCaerbannog 😏
