This little furry friend has got a stash place that will surprise you!

For the past eight years, Bill Fischer North Dakota, USA has been trying desperately to stop the furry little blighter from filling his car engine up with walnuts. 

But the 56-year-old says he is constantly outwitted by his nemesis, who manages to hide hundreds of the nuts away in his truck.

Every autumn the rodent stores tonnes of the things in the engine compartment, wheel arches, and even behind the bumper.

And this leaves Fischer with the most tiring task of having to clear them all out, spending hours removing each nut by hand and chucking them into buckets.

Speaking about this bizarre war, he said: “I have been dealing with the red squirrel since 2013, this has now become a sort of ritual with it filling my truck with nuts and me trying to remove them.”

Fischer said he doesn’t ever see the squirrel until the walnuts on the tree that grows near his home start to ripen.

Over the years, he says he’s tried a number of tactics to prevent the squirrel from getting into his truck, even spraying the vehicle with different spices.

But alas, the little guy is never deterred.

And this year, he’s been incredibly busy, hiding a colossal 158 kilograms of walnuts in his engine, a record.

“The most I had ever pulled so far was four buckets, so with seven buckets this year the squirrel was on a mission,” said Bill, who admitted that he has felt guilty in the past for having undone the squirrel’s efforts.

“I have to have a sense of humour about this after so many years. I put in as much hard work as the squirrel when I have to take my truck apart just to remove bucket after bucket of walnut,” Bill added.
