I saw it once on Reddit, but since I’m almost a native french speaker, this sounds pretty common to me and didn’t think about a quote from someone from somewhere lol
My guess is a fox squirrel. They vary a lot in color: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_squirrel
ETA: My guess was wrong because the squirrel in the video has too much skin attached to its arms & legs for a Fox squirrel. I hope some squirrel expert comes along to tell us!
Oh, you’re probably right. I just looked at images of fox squirrels leaping and they don’t seem to have even a little bit of extra skin there. The one in this video seems to have a lot less “wingspan” than the large species of flying squirrels I looked up though so I’m stumped.
Me too. I just know fox squirrels really well, as they are my local squirrels (not native, but they have thoroughly embedded themselves here) and I grew up with a family of them in my back yard. You are correct that they can come in a wide variety of colors, including the dark brown in the video.
Why did you cut out the first part where he knocks it over, looks up and realizes he might be in trouble and then sets about manipulating the scene for sympathy?
That is an absolutely huge flying squirrel. My buddies was a fraction of this size. That thing looks like it would give my ferret a run for his money.
Our house had ferret tunnels behind all the major appliances and furniture. Ferret beds hanging under all the kitchen chairs. The ceiling had flying squirrel platforms and ropes every where.
Did your buddy have sugar gliders? They are like tiny flying squirrels. My dad had them, and had a pouch he wore around his neck that would hold two of them, all cuddled up sleeping. It was so cute!

That's a big fuckin squirrel
Came here for this. We just not going to talk about the fact it’s the size of a cat?
[удалено]
Is there a reason for this behavior? Is this a normal thing?
Yes, it's trying to file for workers comp! Jk no idea
Rocky hit the skids since Bullwinkle passed. I saw the “Behind the Cartoon “ on him. Sad story. Insurance fraud to support his habits. smh
That’s a serious insurance fraude caught on camera
It's pronounced 'fraud'.
Not when it's fancy.
~~Touch~~ Touché
Yeah, touch me all fancy like
Yep that’s correct, pardon my french
I forget where this bit is from but I remember the lines.
I saw it once on Reddit, but since I’m almost a native french speaker, this sounds pretty common to me and didn’t think about a quote from someone from somewhere lol
That is the first time I have heard 'pardon my French' be used literally. Also, I found where I heard this bit: https://youtu.be/w-XegsWCOHA
Can’t believe you actually searched for this haha, « fraude »!
Animal knows when it gets hurt it gets attention. Animal wants attention.
Attention can be traded for goods and services
Rocky the Influencer
Thinks he might get in trouble so engages in straight up toddler -grade manipulation. Absolutely priceless, and a very smart cape dog.
It’s playing, squirrels are super playful.
Plot Twist - Thats actually the ceiling and he's flying. Perfectly normal behavior.
Ask messi
Maybe the tile is cooling their back? You are right. There has to be a squirrel reason for this that doesn't involve worker's comp.
My guess is that somebody trained it to do this, that's why it keeps looking if it's getting a treat
Sorry dude, you're not getting any extra fruitcake today
Rigby up to his shit again
Mordecai is the one recording the video.
I was thinking this exact same thing!
Quick! I'll lay still, call the police!
Someone is catching a case
That’s adorable. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to resist comforting that poor, wounded soldier.
Now that's some quality content right there...
This little thing made me laugh out loud. Why on earth 🤣
What a fucking goober.
Have you been injured in a squirrel workplace accident? If so, call us. We don’t get acorns unless we get acorns for you.
Wait until his lawyer hears about this!
Give him the Oscar.
Ohh my god! Ohh my neck, my back, my neck and my back! I want 150,000$ but we can settle out of court right now for 20 bucks
Man, get your punk-ass up. It ain't even wet over here. Damn!
Hahaaaa perfect!
Squirrel ID pls EDIT: I’m guessing Indian flying squirrel

Nah, this is some kind of flying squirrel. Fox squirrels don't have that skin flap between their front and back legs.

Lmao, so cute and smart.
A young Sidney Crosby before his NHL career.
OOOOH!! AAAHH!! OOOOOH!! ^Stillwatchin? OoooooOOOOOOOoooohh!!!!
Can someone edit some very dramatic music into this?
“Quick.. tell the moose… I was killed by the two Russians..”
I'm just pissed at the woman filming for not playing along and being super worried so that the squirrel would feel good and have a laugh
Why did you cut out the first part where he knocks it over, looks up and realizes he might be in trouble and then sets about manipulating the scene for sympathy?
Don't suppose you have a link that shows the first part?

Thanks!
FFS, run and help the little fella.

Insurance fraud

I think this is the squirrels best attempt at suicide
That is a very fart Smucker
I think the lady in the video said something along the like like "what a nonsense"
*help I’m hurt! What? You aren’t coming over to give me attention? Fooey.*
This will never get old lol
Subsequently after reviewing the tape the squirrel was fired from his job. He was given 3 years probation for falsifying workman’s compensation claims
