A hungry squirrel in Michigan was caught on camera taking a cue from a famous New York subway rat by taking a slice of pizza and carrying it up a tree.
The video posted to YouTube by Chris Weeden shows the squirrel dragging a slice of pizza on the ground near a tree while the people filming from inside a nearby building provide commentary.
The people sound surprised as the squirrel is able to climb the tree while holding the slice of pizza and makes it to a high branch.
The squirrel evoked memories of New York's famous "Pizza Rat," which was recorded carrying a slice of pizza up a flight of stairs in a subway station.
"It's a bird, it's a plane. It's PIZZA SQUIRREL! Ann Arbor, MI's new Pizza Delivery service," the squirrel video's uploader joked.
Is that supposed to be a heart-shaped pizza?
I had spring like device screwed into a tree that you could screw a cob of corn onto. Was great fun watching the squirrels go for a ride until one of them figured out how to steal the whole darn contraption!!
This is a big problem sometimes. I didn’t know about the wiring being made out of something more desirable to a rodent’s palate. Rodents have been known to cause a huge amount of damage to wiring & now it sounds like it could be worse. Suppose the manufacturer will warranty it?

We re-hung bird feeders, which we have off of our deck, separate from the squirrel feeders. The squirrels came up & stole the bird ‘cage’ plus the brick of bird food. LOL! What can you do but enjoy their cleverness. :-)
LOL! Musta be onea those politician squirrels if he was hiding his technique.
Let’s hope.
Hot pizza is much tastier then cold nuts. :)
Being an ex-Michigander, I can honestly tell you that there's nothing worse than cold nuts ...
:)
Yep. Rats have always been known to chew wires. They have to wear down their teeth or something like that.
No warranty
Honda just got served with a class action lawsuit though.
The squirrels in my backyard are trying to take me out.
I came out to cook some burgers on the grill, turned the knob on top of the tank, and started pushing the igniter. The grill wouldn’t start but I could smell gas. After checking around I finally noticed the hole they chewed in the hose from the propane tank to the grill.
I was lucky.
The funniest thing - we never found the squirrel bungy jumping device. I hope what ever neighbor to it, enjoyed it. :-)
