‘Malvada’ squirrel terrifying up with attacks: ‘He almost killed me’

The episodes have been called “fierce attacks” by the California press. Isabel Campoy, a resident of Lucas Valley, explained that the animal jumped from a tree to the floor and then tried to jump toward his face. Isabel protected herself with her right arm, which was “covered with blood” when she managed to get rid of the squirrel. Isabel had to go to the hospital to treat the injuries.

(The squirrel) is beautiful … now, it’s following me. Until he almost killed me.
