It&#8217;s captioned: &#8220;A squirrel eats a piece of fruit in a public park in Orlando, Florida. Squirrels play an important role in forest regeneration by burying nuts and seeds that often grow into new trees.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>      Based on that, you might think Florida sounds like a very calm, tranquil, and frankly boring place.
