Squirrels can't die from falling:
The terminal velocity of a squirrel is ~30 km/h (20 mph) compared to a human at 200 km/h (120 mph).
This, combined with their low weight & tendency to flatten out on landing, makes falls from any height survivable (though injury still possible!).

Wish we had learned about Piapot in elementary school rather than, for example, Stanley & Livingstone
Payipwat (Piapot) was a man who always put his people first. He dreamed of creating a home for the Cree in the Canadian Prairies but was blocked at every turn by the Canadian government.
His refusal to stop the Thirst Dance led to his removal as chief.
This is his story.

On this day in 2022, Mike Bossy died.
Among his many accomplishments, his 0.76 Goals-Per-Game Average remains a record to this day.
He is considered by some to be the greatest natural goal scorer in NHL history.
This is the story of Mike Bossy.

As a child of immigrants … well said Dropkick Murphys
"The way I was taught is, if your family were immigrants to this country and came for a better life, the price you pay for that is you can never say that 'no one else is welcome.' That is what America was built on," said the Dropkick Murphys frontman Ken Casey.
