Hilarious Attack on Squirrel Bridge in Celebration Florida!
This is in Celebration Florida, the town that Disney built, and our walk was wonderful, but someone must be feeding these squirrels because they are fiesty and fearless!
This is almost like that scene from Christmas Vacation when Aunt Bethany asks about the Christmas tree..."Do you hear a scratching sound" and then the squirrel jumps out and chases the whole family out the door, but on steroids? I did not expect to see the squirrel do again what it did on the way in, but it sure did!!! We look nuts in this vid bc the squirrels look like they are just running across the bridge like they normally would. What you cannot see is the amount of them bouncing off the fence towards us in the woods on both sides. Holy cow!!! We have never seen squirrels come right up to us like they were going to jump and launch, but they did that on the way in and then more of them on the way out. To anyone else, this video might look like the squirrels were acting normal and just walking, but on our way into this bridge the first time through to go one way, the first one kept coming closer and closer no matter how much noise we made and then put it's tail over it's head, started making loud chittering noises and made moves to jump at us. Needless to say that when we walked back and had to take the same bridge back, we were looking for the same squirrel to try and avoid him. So when we got on the bridge and they were coming out of all the sides and bouncing off the foliage all around us, we were a bit alarmed...loudly! Yes, you heard us barking. It was the only thing that seemed to keep them back! I think the squirrels think we needed meds or something! For sure the people who lived around there did! We laughed so hard that we were crying and our stomachs hurt! It was like a video game. They kept coming out of the sides. When we got off the bridge the bike rental place guy told us that his friend had been attacked on the bridge by multiple squirrels and no one knows which one has rabies. I think he heard us screaming and might have been pulling our chain a little! If I had heard it before going on the bridge, I would never have believed it but now I am a true squirrel fearing believer! LOL!
Regardless of the fat, fearless, feisty squirrels, you must make some time to see Celebration. It is Disney built and just lovely!
