no pics of clips, sorry
i just met w a friend in the park today, and right next to us a squirrel decided to sit down, lax it, and have a bun
it ate AN ENTIRE BUN!
then it started to work on an apple scrap
awesome little squirrel, and we got up and close and observed it, and it didnt mint. three feet away, i kid not! it went up into its tree a few times too, but the birds didnt want it there, so it ended up dining on the ground

That's awesome!
I stayed at a cottage a few months ago and they have an albino squirrel that lives on the property. He looks like this guy:
He was the friendliest little fellow! Wasn't shy around us at all.

awwwww!
the one we saw was gray, the guy i was with claimed its a sign of aging, which can make sense.
it was inside the park around the fort, its a rugged and natural park, and i bet the squirrel has lived there its whole life, collecting food from people
i cant believe it ate a WHOLE wheat-bun!

The most common type of squirrel is called the grey squirrel, nothing to do with aging
Red squirrels are pretty rare afaik, and albino squirrels probably don't come round that often either

Cool. Must've been a hungry squirrel. 
I've only seen squirrels eat nuts. In UK we used to have a lot of Red Squirrels, but now they are rare.

in UK they've been wiped out by the less cute grey squirells, brought there from (obviously) America

the grey one is an introduced species?
i havent seen the red one in a long time
and the reason it ate so much, is - i think - pure desperation. it had a little stash of food, and there were birds tormenting it some time before, i think it was eating it all up as quickly as possible
