Another unexpected animal behavior: I know of a local facility that has a fenced campus with a fair amount of green space where the squirrels all bounce around. They hop (fairly high, actually) from place to place rather than run on the ground. I think it's because there is a large population of feral cats and the grass isn't mowed all that often, so cats can hide and non-bouncy squirrels get eaten.

Nonetheless, it's absolutely charming to watch.
