Glasgow Squirrel’s Sweet Crime
In a surprising turn of events, a sneaky squirrel in Glasgow’s West End was caught on camera stealing a delectable pastry, leaving locals both amused and bewildered.
A Nutty Feast
The incident occurred this afternoon when an eagle-eyed photographer, Colin Mearns, spotted the furry culprit running with a croissant that was “nearly the same size” as its body. The adorable creature was seen enjoying its ill-gotten treat up a tree on Gray Street, showcasing its culinary prowess.
The Mysterious Caper
While eyewitnesses were left chuckling at the sight, the question of how the squirrel managed to secure the pastry remains unanswered. Colin Mearns, who captured the furry thief in action, described the scene as comical, highlighting the squirrel’s audacious feat of snatching the baked good in Kelvingrove.
A Squirrel’s Sweet Tooth
Grey squirrels, known for their agile antics and acrobatic skills, typically feed on a diet of plant matter like nuts, seeds, insects, and bird food. However, this particular Glasgow squirrel seemed to have a taste for more indulgent treats, making off with a pastry fit for human consumption.
Colin Mearns shared his amusing encounter, stating, “While driving into Gray Street, I noticed the squirrel run across the road with a croissant in its mouth. As I parked the car, the squirrel ran up a tree next to me, sat on a branch, and guzzled the tasty morsel. So funny. Someone in the West End is down a croissant! It’s nearly the same size as the squirrel.”
The escapade of the Glasgow squirrel serves as a delightful reminder of nature’s playful and mischievous side, bringing a touch of humor and whimsy to the urban landscape. While the stolen pastry may have left one person short of a snack, it undoubtedly provided a moment of entertainment for all who witnessed the squirrel’s sweet crime.
