They look like something out of a horror movie — squirrels covered head to toe in pus-filled, oozing sores staggering through backyards across America and Canada. Once cute and harmless with their bushy tails and acorn-chasing antics, these rodents are now shocking homeowners with grotesque, tumor-like growths that make them look like “zombie squirrels.” And the sightings are increasing.
Squirrels Turned Into Nightmare Fuel
From Maine to the Midwest, homeowners have documented disturbing encounters with squirrels whose faces, limbs, and bodies are covered in ghastly lumps that sometimes rupture and ooze fluid. Social media posts show squirrels disfigured beyond recognition, their heads coated in fleshy, blister-like tumors that leave them barely able to see or eat. What many thought was a new plague has been identified by experts as squirrel fibromatosis — a disease caused by the leporipoxvirus, a cousin to the viruses afflicting rabbits and even deer across North America.
The Disease Behind the Horror
Squirrel fibromatosis spreads through direct contact, often via bites, saliva, or touching lesions during territorial fights or mating. The virus triggers wart-like growths that can grow so large they burst open, leaving open sores prone to secondary infection. In most cases, the virus runs its course, and the animal’s immune system eventually suppresses it. But when tumors affect internal organs or overwhelm the animal, death often follows. Officials warn residents not to handle infected squirrels, as the virus is species-specific. That means it won’t infect humans or pets — but the suffering animals remain a disturbing symbol of something far deeper happening in the natural world.
Not Just Squirrels: Diseased Wildlife Everywhere
The “zombie squirrel” phenomenon is only part of a disturbing pattern. Deer across the U.S. are being spotted with giant flesh bubbles, known as cutaneous fibromas, caused by another papillomavirus. Rabbits, too, are showing grotesque black “horns” growing out of their faces — caused by the Shope Papilloma Virus, an affliction that inspired the legend of the “jackalope.” Even though these viruses are species-specific, the simultaneous outbreaks among multiple wildlife species reveal an ecosystem under stress. The natural order is unraveling.
The Climate Factor and Insect Spread
Experts are already blaming climate change. Warmer, wetter summers extend the life cycle of mosquitoes and ticks, giving viruses more carriers and a wider reach. Once-limited diseases are now spreading into new territories. Just as Lyme disease has crept into Canada and across the northern U.S., so too are these animal viruses finding new footholds. Each outbreak, officials say, is “naturally occurring.” But the timing — with multiple animal species afflicted in multiple regions at once — is too glaring to ignore.
The Prophetic Warning in Diseased Animals
Scripture tells us that in the last days, pestilence will come not just through man-made plagues, but also through “the beasts of the earth” (Revelation 6:8). What we are witnessing may well be the early signs of that prophecy. Diseased deer, disfigured rabbits, and zombie-like squirrels are not just ecological curiosities — they are a warning of creation groaning under the weight of sin, corruption, and globalist manipulation of God’s natural order. The same elites who weaponize climate hysteria are positioning themselves as the “saviors” of the environment while using these crises to justify new controls under their One Health agenda — binding human, animal, and environmental health into a single system of surveillance and authority.
The Bottom Line
Yes, squirrel fibromatosis may be “naturally occurring.” Yes, it doesn’t infect humans. But the broader pattern is unmistakable. Diseased wildlife is increasing, insect-borne viruses are spreading, and social media has turned once-hidden outbreaks into a viral spectacle. The elites will leverage this as proof of their narrative: that climate change and pandemics demand global governance. But for those with eyes to see, these zombie squirrels and their diseased animal cousins are more than just a backyard horror — they are a prophetic sign that creation itself is warning us, and that the time of pestilence and deception is drawing near.
