Trapped squirrel turns Superman to escape

On The Radar | View Archive Updated September 28, 2012, 6:58 pm

In what is probably the best ever example of the 'Fight or Flight' rule, a German squirrel has gone viral on social media after taking a leap of faith.

The Youtube video, with over 170,000 views as of the 25th September, shows a cutesy little squirrel running rampant in a chap's kitchen before unexpectedly leaping from a window at least 3 floors up.

    I don't think the squirrel would have realized just how high up he was, it was really just a matter of "there's an exit point, good!". I hope he survived.

    The window was left open on purpose so as to forced the squirrel to jump out for video. I think it's sick but pleasantly glad to know they can survive a fall/jump at such height.
