Never heard of a “squirrel king” until now. It happens when squirrels get their tails entangled and can’t escape, leaving them vulnerable to predators and starvation. Pine sap was the culprit in the image above.
Is it a hoax? I dunno, Babs, but I do know this: there’s more about “squirrel kings” and related “kings” with photos and links here.

Mickler compiled these rural recipes of great artery clogging goodness. Be sure to check with your doctor first before trying them, and no, there aren’t any possum or squirrel recipes. For those you need a copy of The Foxfire Appalachian Cookbook.
