Squirrel Stages Its Own Murder

DRAMATIC FAKED VIRAL POSITION UNDER SCENE ARMS

A flying squirrel knocks over a broom, briefly struggles to find a convincing position, then rolls underneath it and lies spread-eagled with the broom across its body. The joke is that the squirrel appears to deliberately stage an absurdly dramatic murder scene, making it a reaction for theatrical overacting or fake helplessness.

Dramatic display that's almost Oscar-worthy. A flying squirrel has faked its own death and then even staged a crime scene. Alright, so in a clip that's gone viral, they wrote it, knocks over a broom. When it fails to land in a convincing position, the squirrel has a bit of a rethink, a forward roll, so it ends up under the broom. That's pretty convincing for a devastating murder scene. And it has a final glory. The squirrel ending up with arms splayed and the murder weapon across its chest.
