New York City had Pizza Rat. And now it has Trash Bag Rat.
But Arlington now has something much classier: French Bread Squirrel.
This ambitious squirrel was spotted in Fairlington this morning, deftly scaling a fence and jumping onto a tree, all while hanging on to a piece of French bread about twice its size.
After the video stopped rolling the squirrel cleverly hid its prize in the tree branches and retreated to a safe distance to watch for any would-be bread thieves.
The video quickly became a sensation after we posted it on our Facebook page.
“Here in Arlington, our squirrels like a nice French baguette,” said one commenter. “That’s how we roll in A-Town.”
