Thousands of chipmunks carrying potentially fatal diseases which have been spreading westwards across France have now reached Paris, raising the threat they could reach Britain.
French officials have issued warnings about the creatures after swarms of the seemingly cuddly chipmunks were found living in woods around Paris.
Sacre maroon! Ze killer chipmunks! Parisians, flee foir your wretched lives!
Officials are concerned that if they get as far west as Calais, they could clamber aboard vehicles heading to Britain without drivers being aware.
Carjacking chipmunks--I never thought Alvin and Theodore could be capable of such depravity.
They also fear that misguided tourists, wrongly thinking the animals would make nice pets, will slip the chipmunks into rucksacks or car boots and take them back across the Channel undetected. |
