A handful of people living in the Lucas Valley-Marinwood community north of San Rafael say attacks by a squirrel have sent them to the emergency room with bite marks. Multiple residents on Mount Diablo Circle near Mount Lassen Drive told CBS News Bay Area the squirrel approached them showing aggressive behavior. Marie Ayoob's husband Joe saw the squirrel acting erratically and swatted at it with his hat, trying to ward it off.
Family members rushed him to the emergency room for treatment, only to find out that other neighbors had also been attacked. The next day, the Ayoob family spotted the same squirrel, this time their grandchildren seeing it ripping the fibers of a mop apart. Video of that encounter shows the Ayoob family warning the children to stay inside, afraid of what the squirrel might do.
The Humane Society says it is taking this opportunity to remind people not to hand-feed squirrels, which could be one reason why the squirrel feels comfortable approaching people. Wildlife experts are also investigating if the attacks are linked to a squirrel trying to protect a nest in the area.
Recently, a new study from UC Davis found the first evidence of widespread carnivorous behavior in squirrels.
