Squirrels go nuts for coconuts!

LONDON - Two squirrels are said to love coconuts so much that they end up scrapping the inside of the nuts.
From pictures taken the two, who are regular visitors to Jane Roberts’ garden in Fareham, Hampshire, can be seen with their heads stuffed inside the nut.
They often used to steal the food put out for the birds but now they are just crazy about coconuts.
Roberts, 46, puts out two nuts a week and suspends them on pieces of string from the washing line.
“I make a large hole in the coconut so that they can get into the flesh. The first time I saw them feeding I nearly died laughing, they looked just like a pair of spacemen,” Sky News quoted her as saying.
“Even now I can’t stop chuckling every time I see them,” she added. (ANI)
