It’s too bad that this squirrel’s secret stash had to be removed from its spot. However, telephone poles aren’t really the best place for these animals to hide their food. Maybe next time this squirrel will choose a better location for storing their nuts — preferably one that doesn’t require routine electrical maintenance!
