What other species (leaving humans aside) is smart enough to get through all the barriers around an electrical transformer, but stupid enough to actually do so? FAZP.
Squirrels used to blow the can transformer up the pole in front of my place in Waltham about every six months, and, annoyingly, Boston Edison would always faff around for a couple of hours driving around the neighborhood looking for the problem rather than taking my word for it on the phone and just fixing the damned thing. One time, though, the trail was easy for them to follow...
... since the dead squirrel was still on fire atop the car parked at the bottom of the pole when the truck arrived on our street. Good thing my convertible wasn't parked down there...
