As we’ve already seen in this countdown, squirrels will eat, or at least pick at, just about 
anything edible they find lying around. That includes our discarded human food, of which the edibility may actually be in doubt. And while squirrels aren’t carnivores by nature, they’re not exactly strict vegetarians either.
First off, before explaining any more about the set of photos accompanying this squirrel, I should note that I really don’t know what in the hell that large object is that he’s found there. But I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look like a slice of leftover grilled steak. It would make some sense too since this photo was taken just four days after Memorial Day, one of those traditional American grilling holidays.
Square steak? Opposite of round steak, I guess…
You can see what appear to be sear marks from a grill on the underside of that chewable. That was the first indication I got that this might be a rare sighting of a meat eating squirrel…
He quickly spotted me and took off up a tree with his treasure. But not before I was able to get a few more pics of him…
Makes a nice tray table…
Come on, give me a good look at that!
Here you go!
That definitely does look steak-like. Maybe a bit petrified from laying around for a few days….
Gratuitously blurry close up…
You never know what you’ll find in the park. For my 16th favorite Saturday Squirrel of All Time, he scored on a grade A cut of Angus beef…
Evil Squirrel's Nest 
good idea… where are the french fries?
His friend probably found them in the trash can…
Winner, winner steak dinner.
👍
You’re gonna have to up your wildlife feeding game now. Mama Chucker will want some lobster…
🤣
If I can’t eat it? Neither can she…
Yep – that’s a steak alright…..he scored!

And be the first squirrel on cholesterol meds!
His teeth are sharp enough to cut that up!
Depends on how petrified that steak is after days on the ground…
I thought it was a piece of toast at first, but it does look like steak. Huh. Mine only eat seeds, corn and nuts. They don’t seem to want anything else. I’m just as glad. I’m not grilling steak for them.
I’ve seen them eat pizza, and my sister has a video of one eating a discarded taco. And there’s one more strange culinary find to come in this countdown….
Looks like it’s time to fire up the ole BBQ and do some short ribs for the neighborhood riff raff.
As long as the squirrels don’t supply the short ribs for the BBQ….
😆 You know me too well.
What self-respecting meat-eating American would have grilled that steak and then chucked it on the ground, though? Maybe it was left as an offering to the squirrel gods of the woods…
I can assure you the anti-Amurrican culprit was swiftly rounded up by the nearest gun-totin’ posse and deported to Canada…
Betcha that’ll clog him up for a while…
