The squirrel looked at me intently, trying to read my thoughts, wondering if i was a threat or a friend.

Uhh ... what squirrel ... ?

When squirrels look at any mammal larger than them, they feel threatened. A squirrel will rarely think of you as a friend.

Squirrels are also known to have diseases, so if you come across a squirrel who is giving you a weird look, walk away. They bite.
