I found this Reuters story quite unbelievable, until I saw it with my own eyes. It seems the Kinder egg stealing squirrel from Jyväskylä has a cousin in Espoo:

Funny how all these stories have a picture of a Eastern Grey Squirrel although the most common squirrel in Finland is the Red Squirrel. Perhaps the grey squirrel most resembles a global stereotype of a squirrel and is therefore better for a news story. Who cares what color squirrels are in Finland anyway?!?

In more disturbing wildlife news, a camel kills wild ass at Helsinki Zoo. Tempting, but I’m not going to photoshop that chain of events.
