That is weird. Pest pestering a pest?

Reminds me of a photo I have stored away on here. It's not something I'd pop up for general consumption as some may find it disagreeable. But, a friend of mine had trapped a gray squirrel, in a killing trap. The body was left exposed at the mouth of the tunnel he'd set the trap in and, by the time he got there, small birds had been picking the fur out!

It really is macabre, seeing this half naked squirrel body.
