Osama bin Squirrel is nuts

It may sound like a-corny story but this could be the most famous squirrel.

Meet Sugar Bush - film star, model, Osama Bin Laden-hunter and 'most photographed squirrel in the world'.

Her 'mother', Dolly Parton lookalike Kelly Foxton, claims to have rescued her from a tree - which some might find strange, considering it is one of the rodent's natural habitats.

Sugar Bush now lives the good life with country and western singer Ms Foxton, who has set up a website - www.sugarbush
squirrel.com - for her.

The creature is featured in a variety of poses, including news anchor of SNN Squirrel News Network, Britney Spears ('nut me baby, one more time') and an international film star.

Bizarrely, the eastern grey squirrel is also said to take time out to pursue her favourite pastime - hunting Bin Laden. Ms Foxton, from Florida, said: 'As news anchor, she has turned the catchphrase "you've been squirrelled" into an overnight success.

'It is fast becoming her very own, international, household expression.'

Sugar Bush has more than 1,000 outfits and has posed for 1,000 photos.

But site visitors are less impressed. One asked: 'How repugnant and arrogant must one be to think living things are just toys to be played with?'
