I think squirrels would be great electricians

They could just grab a cable and run through the wall. We are too big and have to blindly fish it through. What if they had the intelligence to connect the cable on the other side?

They are pretty good for knocking out transformers if you need that done.

@NativePortlander1970 not a fan of the eastern gray squirrels in the PNW. Invasive species that is out-competing native red squirrels. Grays are really destructive...get into attics, electric systems, destroy crops.

@BizSuitStacy Every animal is accused of destruction one way or another, but us humans are the worst.

@NativePortlander1970 humans are the ones doing all the blaming cause some think of ourselves as superior to nature. But its not the deer or birds fault you built your chemically engineered house in the forrest. 🤨
