Protect your nuts. Ever see a family of squirrels hogtie a hiker with their own backpack straps to get their tiny, but oh so cute, paws on a canister of honey-roasted peanuts? We haven’t either, but there’s always a first time. Properly store your food, and avoid tempting wildlife you come across in parks with a peanut in your hand. If any animal approaches you, it should only be because you’re the one true animal whisperer…Just kidding, hey, where’s your backpack?
