It's a Cape ground squirrel, writes sci-blogger Ed Yong, and they all (or, anyway, all the dude squirrels) look like that. And if you think this is impressive, you should see their penis*.

Perhaps somewhat unsurprisingly, Cape ground squirrels are known for masturbating.

Now we know why squirrels never evolved to rule the planet...
If humans could perform oral sex on themselves, men would never leave the house to hunt or gather, there would be no drive to reproduce (who would put up with the crazy other gender, the keeper of the vagina)... Face it, we would have become exctinct millenia ago

But on the bright side, there would be no taboo against homosexuality!

They say we share most of our DNA with monkeys...has anyone done the research on our relationship with squirrels?

 

[girlzfucker]

Yes, but *why* does it feel good? That's the adaptive question here. Is there a greater purpose to basting the ham, beating the bishop, clearing the snorkel, etc...

On a related note. Great euphemisms for masturbation here:

Think he cocked it up, it should've looked like this:

I think this somehow explains why Ron Jeremy used to do the exact same thing to himself, except he was a hedgehog, not a squirrel.

They have similar fur to rabbits and as shit doesn't stick to rabbits fur then spunk won't stick to squirrel fur so they can wank all day and mrs squirrel won't notice.

Why squirrels masturbate? Because it's so easy for them to get an up skirt view.

 

[Skyraider22]

To be honest with you i never knew they played with their peckers.People still say peckers right :dunno:Either way you learn something new everyday.

 

[Kingdmen]

They put my sack to shame, I'll give em' that.
