YEAH, ENDED UP WITH THE WITH THE WITH THE RENTAL WOULD BE ABOUT 8500 BUCKS. THE GOOD NEWS INSURANCE WILL COVER MOST OF THE COST. BUT FROM NOW ON FITCH WILL KEEP

A South Carolina squirrel tasked with predicting the outcome of the 2020 election has made his pick: President Trump.

today. Right beyond these doors is someone special who decided to make their early vote and that someone specialist Chris Chris the squirrel who's taking part in the squirrel vote where a squirrel is put to the test and chooses his pick for the presidential election. Chris Chris is temporary caregiver Serena Ash says one of her friends told her something surprising when it comes to the squirrel vote. But she actually said who she was gonna vote for this world. So what this world voted for. So that's an interesting thing that we found. The way it works is that 10 nuts will be placed in two bowls with the names of the candidates on each bowl. The bowl that Chris Chris eats the most nuts from by the time he's done with lunch is declared the winner. As he chomps away to make his choice, Serena explains how she thinks to square vote could help people. I think it probably will be a relief from the regular from the news that we've been hearing, you know, but it just might get people out to vote. In the end, Chris Chris decided that President Trump will get another four years in office, and Serena leaves us with one final thought. If a squirrel could do it, then people can, too. And now we all have to wait until November 3rd to see if Chris Chris made the right vote reporting from North Charleston. Antonio Stinson Count on, too.

Rhode Island man's backyard feeders have become a regular meeting spot for an unlikely pair of friends.

in a wooded area of Kingston. Lots of animals call Homestead Circle home. You know, feed the birds, I said. Why not feed other other animals and stuff like that? Water loops loves nature. That's actually pretty cool toe watch. So next to his own picking table, he brought a miniature one for his furry, frequent visitors, primarily squirrels and chipmunks. And they wait and want to come out there literally five minutes later. Liel. They're all common. They're all coming on the deck. They're all coming in and out of the picking table when they were coming. Ah, and on the bird feeds. A few weeks ago, he witnessed a beautiful breakfast state. Never seen it before. I've never seen anything like that before. First came the squirrel, and then the ground hung that's been living under his porch. They tried to settle down, and they started eating together. The pair seemed to enjoy each other's company. They're there for about 30 minutes. It was a while. They've now made it part of their regular morning routine. I thought it was great that they were together and they were able to get together, and I thought I was just a really cool thing for animals. To do that you don't really see often with the ground off. Ronald takes pictures and post them on social media, but doesn't dare mess with their meal. Everybody should be should see, and everybody should get a smile off, He hopes by sharing the positive interactions of carefree creatures, humans will follow suit. But with everything that's going on, hopefully you could bring smile to people. That's a good thing, because people need it right now. In Kingston. Samarie, NBC 10 News
