Squirrel gets DRUNK eating fermented pears

A drunk squirrel was caught on camera struggling to stand after eating fermented pears left on a picnic table outside a house in Minnesota.

Footage taken last Friday, shows the woodland creature perched on a miniature picnic table outside a house in Inver Grove Heights.

The squirrel is spotted munching on corn and seeds when it suddenly gets a dazed, petrified look in its eyes and leans oddly to the side.

The tipsy animal uses the edge of the little blue bowl to suddenly catch its balance, but it begins to drift backwards again while staring into the sky.

After the strange episode, the creature eventually finds its way back to the bowl of food and continues eating.

The owner of the house, Kathleen Morlok, said the saga began when she cleaned out her refrigerator on Friday.

"I did not realise that he left one under the table outside until I saw the little red squirrel happily grab the whole thing and run away with it into the trees."

I ran into this squirrel at a meeting a while back. He's now 18 months sober and lives in a half-way nest.

I grew up on a farm and we had fruit trees. The butterflies would get drunk and land on you. They would just chill with you until the effects wore off 🙂

The way it slowly tilts back and then quickly snaps forward is hilarious.

So hilarious! I can almost hear the squirrel saying
"God just let me get through this and I will never eat fermented pears again!"😆

"Hello, my name is Andy and I'm a pear-aholic."
"Hello, Andy."

Sad to see Conker still hasn't given up his old ways

Glad to read in the description that the pears weren't left for the squirrel intentionally. That would be cruel. Poor thing's lucky not to have fallen.
