The two-acre wooded stretch of Prospect Park has been eerily quiet in the week since it was torched by a shocking bush-fire. Scores of squirrels, birds, raccoons, skunks and other critters that call the Brooklyn oasis home were forced to flee the burned sector — and it could take years…
They flew into a frenzy. Frightened staff and flyers at LaGuardia Airport fled the Spirit Airlines’ gate after a rambunctious raccoon was spotted hanging from the ceiling before dropping to the floor of the Big Apple terminal, shocking footage shows.

P’nut the squirrel and Liz Cheney are two bizarre closing symbols of this election campaign. If we read the tea leaves, we can see how they represent what’s really at stake on Tuesday: freedom versus authoritarianism — only it’s the reverse of what Kamala Harris has been saying. Hint: it’s…

SEATTLE — It’s a good thing seals aren’t on a humpback whale’s menu.
