    In the meantime, the american grey squirrels are invading Europe, taking over the whole continent, driving the local ginger squirrels to extinction, spreading diseases and pests like ticks.

    I’d like to see this overlaid with a heat map showing the portion of the population that knows what squirrel tastes like.

    There are 4 squirrels in my backyard. I’ve been feeding them for years. We would never fight, we’re buddies.

      Range of 2 ratios (11:1 to 20:1), and then 21:1 or higher.

    Why does that big red square state near the bottom have so many more squirrels than any of its neighbours?

        My knowledge is limited to Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul but it looks kind of deserty.

        Maybe it has the same number of squirrels but way fewer people?

        Or maybe squirrels like meth.

        New Mexico just has a smaller human population than its neighbor states. Makes the ratio seem high.

      Just one? They have 600 million, ask for two

    I was just thinking about this the other day when I saw a gang of squirrels trying to murder each other while another fat ass drug a slice of pizza up a tree.

    What a pleasant coincidence.

    Squirrel to human ratio in my neighborhood: About 570:1… despite my dog reducing that number a little.

    I have my doubts about the methodology on the state per state breakdown. Michigan is all forests once you get north of Flint, so there is no way yhe squirrel to human ratio is less than 4:1. Same with Ohio

      It’s because this is basically a human population map (with the exception of Hawaii), no? Michigan and Ohio are still very populous states, so it offsets the squirrels.
