I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts

These two squirrels go to infinity and beyond to prove they are nuts about coconuts — diving head-first into the shells for a satisfying snack.

The peckish pair look more like starved spacemen tucking into the tropical treats in animal lover Jane Roberts' back garden in Fareham, Hants. Jane, 46, leaves out two coconuts a week for her furry friends.



She suspends them on pieces of string from her washing line and watches the crazy critters digging in. Jane said: "The first time I saw them feeding I nearly died laughing, they looked like a pair of astronauts.

"Even now I can't stop chuckling every time I see them. I make a large hole in the coconut so they can get to the flesh. They can't get enough of them."
