Squirrels are cute little furballs with big bushy tails. Well, until they have a close encounter with a Lamborghini LP670-4 SV and then they’re cute little furballs with small stumpy tails and an irregular heartbeat.

This incident, which can only be described as a close call, happened during The Ultimate Lamborghini Experience 4, with one of the beastly supercars driving over the squirrel at over 100 miles-per-hour.

A close call means the squirrel survived, but not wholly intact. You can actually see the tail get lobbed off and fly towards the camera on track if you look very, very closely. And the creature emerges looking a little different.

Will this little guy do well without a tail? After all, isn’t that the body part they use for balance and support? Still, it’ll teach him not to cross the road when a Lamborghini is approaching.
