Chocoholic squirrel

No! It can't be true! Another animal eating chocolate? What is going on in this crazy world? I'm not giving up my weekly lindt chocolate bar to feed some poor animal, no sir!
But... what if we start to feed chicken with chocolate? Can you imagine it? "Mole" ready chicken and turkey... NOW THAT IS AWESOME!

Chocoholic squirrel steals treats from shop

HELSINKI (Reuters) - A Finnish squirrel with a sweet tooth heads to a Finnish grocery shop at least twice a day to steal "Kinder Surprise" chocolate-shelled eggs.

"I named it the Kinder-squirrel, after the treats. It always goes after them, other sweets do not seem to interest it as much," the manager of the store in Jyvaskyla, central Finland, told Reuters.

The confectionary, which is intended for children, has a toy inside.

"It removes the foil carefully, eats the chocolate and leaves the store with the toy," Irene Lindroos said.

Unfortunately, the bushy-tailed thief does not clean up after itself, but leaves the wrappers behind, she added.

Squirrels have a well deserved reputation for being clever and adaptable animals. Many a home owner has seen the small rodents raiding their supposedly "squirrel-proof" bird feeders.
