Cute but false. These little fluffs are just scratching their armpits. Squirrels actually land like spread out pancakes. Here a biologist ruining your fun.

I vote Debunked in the name of education about cute critters.

Really nice that you both have done that. The fact checking and the tag 👍

True, it's still cute even though it's false

Feet? Miles? Football fields? What backward place IS this?

I know, but I chose to like the landing more because they're just too cute.

And they're even cute when they cuss you out (you might need a dog to experience that).
