squirrels actually walk backwards a little ways before jumping from location to location (ex. rooftop to tree branch).

no really, i saw one do that. it dropped what it was trying to carry with it (a pinecone) but made the jump from the roof of the house to the tree limb. but before it jumped it like ran backwards three of four steps to give itself a running start or something.

and why was i watching the squirrel you ask? :nope:
