This almost seems like something from a Stephen King book. The tufted ground squirrel is rarely seen but thanks to scientist and some cameras, we have a glimpse at the fuzzy little creature.

This squirrel is different from normal squirrels due to the fact that its twice the size of most squirrels, has an extremely bushy tail and it has a taste for blood. You read that right. This squirrel likes to eat living things.

This cute beast lives in Borneo and local hunters say that it can be ruthless. The squirrel will wait on low branches and jump onto a deer and attack its jugular and then go to work on the carcass. That may just be a tail, or it may be truth. Time will only tell since these little guys are rarely seen. Thanks to the help with motion cameras, maybe we can get some clearer info on these so called vampire squirrels.
