Is Thor safe?


Yesterday I was cautious as there was a new menace in the neighbuorhood.

A squirrel likes the trees at the front of my house! He looked at me, made some noise and wagged it's tail at me at a very rapid pace.

What is the possibilities of the squirrel doing any damage to my tree?
I went in search of more information.

I found out from one website that "squirrels can destroy trees by tearing and/or eating the bark"(http://www.squirrels.org/).

Since squirrels are active all year long (they do not hybernate) Thor will have to be on his guard throughout the entire year!
The squirrel in the picture is from the UK and is said to be driving out the regular grey squirrels because it has more testosterone - making them more aggressive and more successful over the other squirrels in their territory.
I hope this squirrel stays away from my tree! I will keep a look out and let you know.

Squirrels are cute! But I guess not when they do damage to our trees! =( I guess they are innocent and sweet on the outside, but evil on the inside.
