Scirius Vulgaris (Squirrel Earrings)

This cute little critter is often seen here in Norway.

In Norse Mythology there was a squirrel named Ratatosk. He ran up and down the world tree Yggdrasil, carrying messages between the eagle/rooster/falcon Vidofnir in the top of the tree and the serpent Nidhogg who dwells beneath the tree roots. A poem in Norwegian: 

Ratatoskr heitir ikorni,
er renna skal
at aski Yggdrasils;
arnar orð
hann skal ofan bera
ok segia Niðhöggvi niðr.
