Squirrel-ché # 14

“A tough squirrel to crack.”

As we have previously learned, squirrels were once accomplices to ninjas for their espionage skills. One of the many reasons squirrels were so successful in this role was because their stealth-like movements made them near impossible to catch. However, there are a few instances when a squirrel was caught by the enemy they were hired to spy on for the ninjas. These skillful squirrels were then interrogated to find out who they were working for and why. Is this starting to sound like a James Bond movie? What can I say, art imitates squirrel. Anyway, another reason squirrels were so successful when employed by the ninja was because under no circumstances would the animal divulge their secrets. I guess one could say that unlike some rodents, the squirrel won’t rat others out.
