In the meantime, the american grey squirrels are invading Europe, taking over the whole continent, driving the local ginger squirrels to extinction, spreading diseases and pests like ticks.
I was just thinking about this the other day when I saw a gang of squirrels trying to murder each other while another fat ass drug a slice of pizza up a tree.
I have my doubts about the methodology on the state per state breakdown. Michigan is all forests once you get north of Flint, so there is no way yhe squirrel to human ratio is less than 4:1. Same with Ohio
It's because this is basically a human population map (with the exception of Hawaii), no? Michigan and Ohio are still very populous states, so it offsets the squirrels.

About time ya'll got reverse-colonized.
You mean to tell me that even squirrels aren't nice to the gingers?
I'd like to see this overlaid with a heat map showing the portion of the population that knows what squirrel tastes like.
Ever heard of PNG?
I like TNG.

Do I look like I know what a JPEG is?
The image format?
Yes.The JPEG compression in this pic is so bad, parts of it are excessively hard to read.
Oh, okay, I didn't understand what you were getting at. Maybe lead with that, might help someone out.
Is Papua New Guinea safe from the squirrels?
There are 4 squirrels in my backyard. I've been feeding them for years. We would never fight, we're buddies.
You will be offered the role of ambassador when the time comes.
Finally, my good nature is rewarded!
All two of them ;)
TIL Hawaii doesn’t have squirrels
They have invasive little chickens instead.
And loads of mongooses too!
Someone should do "When the mongooses took over". Where's the Dwigt Schrute we deserve?
Why ... why are you mapping our numbers and pitching us against you?
Don't worry about it
What's that even supposed to say?
Range of 2 ratios (11:1 to 20:1), and then 21:1 or higher.
Why does that big red square state near the bottom have so many more squirrels than any of its neighbours?
That's New Mexico, and a good question.
My knowledge is limited to Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul but it looks kind of deserty.
Maybe it has the same number of squirrels but way fewer people?
Or maybe squirrels like meth.
New Mexico just has a smaller human population than its neighbor states. Makes the ratio seem high.
Huh. Now that you mention it, the whole thing might just be a population scarcity map.
Edit: Except for Hawaii
That explains ME vs NH but not ME vs VT, unless it's just the size of ME encompassing more squirrels
can we have one for canada please?
Just one? They have 600 million, ask for two

What a pleasant coincidence.
Squirrel to human ratio in my neighborhood: About 570:1... despite my dog reducing that number a little.
Fight? They can fucking have it.
