sassy swimmin' squirrel!

BBC online is reporting on this and calling it news...

"Squirrel's epic swim across lake"
Tourists on board a pleasure boat in the Lake District could not believe their eyes when they spotted a red squirrel in the biddle of Ullswater.apparently this little guy swam almost 275m - approx. the length of 6 swimming pools!!!

people on the boat lowered a rope to the tiny swimmer and he scurried up it and hitched a ride back to shore!

witnesses say: "This squirrel was swimming strongly and had its tail coiled on its back so it didn't look bedraggled or as if it was struggling"

the squirrel was all like don't bother me while i'm working out! how would you like it if i came up to you while you were swimming your laps and stared at you, huh???
