[Volundr]

I doubt it is. Several years ago a squirrel was hit by a car outside my work. There were several squirrels on the sidewalk watching, and one would keep running to the corpse and pushing on it like it was trying to wake it up, running away when a car came, and running back when it passed. This continued until I got a shovel and moved it to the dumpster because I was afraid we'd end up with more dead squirrels.
