Possessed Animals

What is it with animals today?

First, yesterday I read about this killer attack squirrel of death who attacked a man driving on (moving) motorcycle. Rather than be squashed, it jumped up on to the motorcyle and started attacking the man.

And then today, I read an article about a "bionic" hedgehog who repeatedly attacked a man and some dogs. It was kicked, hit in the head with a shovel, and finally shot, and just ran away into the woods. They said it was the size of a cat. How fucked up is that? It's like Caddyshack on crack.
