Residents of Oakhaven were startled last night by sightings of unusually illuminated squirrels darting through the city’s central park. Reports describe the creatures as emitting a soft, phosphorescent green glow. Early speculation points to an accidental spill at the local bioluminescence research facility as the likely cause for this peculiar phenomenon.
The squirrels, typically shy and diurnal, were observed engaging in boisterous activity long after sunset. Witnesses described them as “unnervingly cheerful” and “unusually bold.” Animal control has been notified, and a specialized team is being assembled to safely capture and study the luminous mammals. Authorities are advising citizens to observe from a distance and refrain from feeding the glowing fauna.
