Squirrels frustrate Cincinnati Zoo holiday efforts

"This is by far the number one spot for squirrels. We've had many a night where it's completely dark,” said Chad Yelton of the Cincinnati Zoo.

One year, Yelton said, the zoo lost 300 strands “and most of that was on Bear Hill.”

The squirrels gnaw at the light strands, indifferent ot the whole point of the festival of lights.

Most of the more than 2 million lights the workers string from August until the holidays are LED.

But back in the day of incandescent bulbs, squirrels would unscrew them, apparently mistaking them for nuts in the winter.

recipe in recent times to something tastier.
