This is one smart squirrel! Someone taped down five slinky toys and filled them with peanut butter for the backyard squirrels to eat. While a squirrel is gorging itself, along comes a chipmunk, trying to get in on the feast. But the squirrel isn't about to share. It takes a slinky, stretches it out about two feet, and wham!
