A squirrel was spotted casually puffing on a vape stick up a tree at a Merseyside park.

Sammy Barker thought she was “going nuts” when she saw the wild rodent sitting on a branch with a bright red vape between its feet.

The 33-year-old had taken her three-year-old nephew Leo Morris to her local park when something caught her eye.

She told the Daily Star: “I was in the park with my nephew playing on the swings and we were watching a couple of squirrels playing and running around the trees.

“I spotted one on the ground eating something which at first, I thought at first was a giant red pepper.

Social worker Sammy, from Wallasey, Wirral, said she was concerned about the squirrel’s safety while it was chewing on the red puffer.

She added: “The squirrel then ran up the tree with a bright red vape and sat on the branch with it between his feet, suckling on the end of it.

“I was so shocked and was concerned for the squirrel as I thought several tokes of the vape might make him sick.”

Sammy said she ‘couldn’t believe her eyes’ as she watched the squirrel climbing up the tree.

She added: “We sat and watched him for a few minutes until he climbed further up the tree with the vape still in hand. I couldn’t believe my eyes.”
