      I mean, Poland IS in Europe so I’m afraid this title is pedantically correct.

      I got this off Bluesky. No, squirrels in North America are mostly grey or black, and the red ones we do have in woodsy areas definitely don’t have these ears.

        It’s a European red squirrel mate, I promise. The biggest population I’ve seen is on King Charlie’s Balmoral estate in Scotland

          Wrong. This is a Polish Squirrel and you can tell because of its straight ears.

                  No it’s a social media app, a Twitter clone made by Jack Dorsey formerly of Twitter before old shit face bought it. It’s ok.

                    Must be correct if you got the information from social media.
