I don't think it's funny at all. They think this one could very well be rabid.

"Even though squirrels are rarely infected with rabies — a disease that infects the central nervous system and could be fatal — the Health Department said in a statement that it was assuming this one was infected because of its “unusual aggressive behavior.”"
