This week's star is the squirrel

Squirrels can burrow or chew into just about anything. They have caused dam failures, major power outages, and taken down NASDAQ twice. Squirrels are omnivorous but can't digest cellulose. Some squirrels have been known to kill and eat other animals, including a chicken and a snake. They can be trained to do tricks, eat from your hand, and be kept as pets. Squirrel meat is highly regarded in some parts of the US and Britain, although the American Heart Association says it is high in cholesterol :) And just try keeping them out of your bird feeders.
