Speechless. Not really. I was carrying stuff from my dorm to the car when I walked through a little forested area. There they were, in all their fervent glory, a pair of squirrels (one grey and one black) doing what Darwin would call "natural selection" (I just made a scientific theory into a dirty word). Before I could contemplate what fraction of their offspring would have a grey phenotype, they noticed me. They stopped, looked up at me and then just kept on going. It was an awkward moment for all involved. I will say that squirrel sex is not as interesting as a squirrel fight to the death. Besides, they weren't even naked (because they had fur, and not because I would like to see a pair of naked squirrels getting it on. shiver).
