Next time you see a squirrel in London, you better think twice about what those furry friends are up to when your back is turned. It seems they’ve learned a lot from us…

1. The Squirrel Social Class System

Judging by this guy, squirrels have somehow created a society of social classes. Talk about gentrification — this fella looks pretty damn well off. We wonder what Marx would have said about this…

2. Game Of Thrones

Hell yeah! The rodents also love Game of Thrones… but in the squirrel version they are obviously fighting for the ‘Acorn Throne’.

3. The Sex Squirrels

Every summer, you’d expect to see a large gathering of squirrels in Hyde Park. What you don’t know is that the up-and-coming rock gods — the ‘Sex Squirrels’ — put on one hell of a summertime festival. If you haven’t heard, then you’r just not squirrel enough. (For human festivals, see here.)

4. Harlem Shake

Believe it or not, but the Harlem Shake was invented by the squirrels over the pond. It travelled all the way to London and now they never miss an occasion to do it in public — so keep your eyes peeled.

5. Squirrels. Camera. Action.

Only problem with squirrels is they’re all ‘take, take, take’. And not only when it comes to nuts.

6. The Mysterious And Magical Squirrel

We hope that there was no on stage incidences in this case.

7. Basketball

Here is John Marble and Bobby Oak. This snap was taken during the NBA (Nuts Basketball Associations) Final.

8. Snapchat

The squirrels love Snapchat’s face-swap update as much as we do. But it’s terrifying.

9. The Office

The squirrels have been working their way through various series, including the much loved The Office (yes, the American version — the b*stards).

10. The Gym

The squirrels are getting pumped for summer too. Good job they know how to spot.

11. Halloween

They sure know how to combine halloween with sass. Talk about naughty outfits.
