Passers-by were too late to stop the attack by the black squirrels in a village in the far east, which reportedly lasted about a minute.

A "big" stray dog was nosing about the trees and barking at squirrels hiding in branches overhead when a number of them suddenly descended and attacked, reports say.

"When they saw the men, they scattered in different directions, taking pieces of their kill away with them."

A Lazo man who called himself only Mikhalich said there had been "no pine cones at all" in the local forests this year.

"The little beasts are agitated because they have nothing to eat," he added.

Too funny ... or scary, depending on your perspective.

"Run away! Run Away!"
