Guess Someone Was Using That Tree
It might have looked like just another old tree to the person with the chainsaw, but to at least one small resident, it clearly meant a lot more. Perched solemnly on the freshly cut stump, this squirrel looks like it’s mourning the sudden disappearance of its entire world—its home, hangout spot, and lookout tower all gone in one fell swoop.
Animals form attachments to their surroundings just as humans do. The scene is unintentionally heart-wrenching: a tiny creature trying to make sense of a missing piece of its habitat. While the person who cut down the tree may have had practical reasons, it’s clear they underestimated the impact it would have on the local wildlife. One look at this squirrel is enough to feel the weight of the oversight.
