Woman in disbelief after seeing squirrel vaping in tree

A passerby thought she was "going nuts" after she spotted a squirrel using a vape stick. Sammy Barket was left shocked when she saw the squirrel, who was holding on to the vape in a tree.

The 33 year old, of Wallasey, Wirral, had taken her three year old nephew, Leo, to a nearby park in Merseyside when she noticed something strange. She said: “I was in the park with my nephew playing on the swings and we were watching a couple of squirrels playing and running around the trees.

“I spotted one on the ground eating something which at first, I thought at first was a giant red pepper. As I got closer I thought I was going nuts (excuse the pun)" reports The Daily Star.

Sammy added: “The squirrel then ran up the tree with a bright red vape and sat on the branch with it between his feet, suckling on the end of it. I was so shocked and was concerned for the squirrel as I thought several tokes of the vape might make him sick.

“We sat and watched him for a few minutes until he climbed further up the tree with the vape still in hand. I couldn’t believe my eyes.”
