Let’s face it, everyone wants a golden squirrel using a table saw in an unsafe way on their shirt, but sadly for a while people couldn’t get their hands on this sweet piece of merch because we were all sold out. But alas! In a world of bad news, good news is finally here!

Squirrel shirts will be back this weekend in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Well actually, just one shape (t-shirt shape), but there will definitely be many sizes. What’s that you say? Why is there a squirrel on any of our are shirts anyway? Well, squirrels use tools to build stuff all the time! Sure, they may not be as famous as chimps and gorillas, but a gorilla with a power saw? Terrifying.

Did you know…

Squirrels can use leaves, twigs, moss, and other materials to build their nests, which are called dreys. They can also use natural or artificial cavities in trees or buildings as shelters. Some squirrels even use abandoned bird nests or squirrel boxes as their homes.
Squirrels can use rocks, sticks, shells, or other objects to crack open nuts, seeds, or bones. They can also use their teeth to gnaw on hard foods. Some squirrels have been observed using a leaf to wrap up a blob of peanut butter, to avoid getting the oil on their paws.
Squirrels can use their tails as tools for various purposes. They can use them as blankets, umbrellas, flags, or balance aids. They can also use them to communicate with other squirrels or predators.
Squirrels can use their paws as tools for digging, holding, manipulating, or grooming. They have sharp claws that help them grip and climb. They also have sensitive whiskers that help them sense their surroundings.

Pick up a golden squirrel shirt while picking up your tools this weekend - annoy your friends with squirrel tool facts - look good while doing it!
