I recently had the pleasure of watching a rambunctious young squirrel race around a picnic ramada. After calling the little one failed, mom dashed over and grabbed the cheeky bugger.

I was impressed by the mother’s strength as she scaled the rock pillar with a mouthful of baby. I didn’t see any of her other kids but perhaps that’s because they were more obedient and stayed in the nest like she told them to.
