When you picture a squirrel, you get the image of something about the size of a rat, with a bushy tail, that might also make it into the category suitable for cuddly toys... That is unless you live in Karmagedon, with its delectable killer honey bees and free range dinosaurs...

The latter stalked by the legendary Dire Squirrel! (Not to be mistaken for its lesser cousin,the sabertooth squirrel or the poisonous sea squirrel. )This leviathan and skilled thief is about the size of a large wolf and is omnivorous, with an emphasis on meat unlike most of its brethren found elsewhere. This account was taken from a recent issue and should help put matters into focus, consider the "cattle" are freaking dinosaurs!

“Banning Squirrel hunting would be the end for centuries of tradition!” wails esteemed aristocrat Jiang Douglas from atop his steed. “The thrill of the chase, the baying of the hounds, the Squirrel scooting through the undergrowth - it would be a travesty! We provide much needed stimulus to the local tourism, and you can’t deny that Squirrels are pests - killing farmers’ livestock for example! I propose that Squirrel hunting be encouraged, for the cultural - and economic - benefit of the nation!”

So the next time you are after those little pests you consider real *cough* *cough* squirrels, spare a moment for those people of Karmagedon that have to deal packs of Dire squirrels that can pull down dinos and give thanks that our hunters are so well armed!
