Like he's asking "you want a piece of Me" !!! I've seen Ducks go up to gators and stand on their backs. I realized that is where they get the term... "He's a dead Duck" ha ha...

I saw a bald eagle carrying away something about a squirrel's size last year.

They do this teasing with the big dogs at Doggie Doo Run Run often. Just get out of reach of the dogs' paws and stare at them.

The squirrel looks very scared to me. Perhaps paralyzed by shock.
