While sitting on a park bench in New York City’s Union Square Park, I noticed a package of chocolates next to me on the bench. Just a minute later, I noticed a squirrel eagerly tearing its way into the package.

I have seen plenty of squirrels feast on park-goers leftovers, and considering that the city’s largest farmer’s market borders the park, I would imagine the squirrels in Union Square only eat the finest local and organic foodstuffs. But never have I seen a squirrel go to town on a hazelnut covered dark chocolate truffle!
