Huge stash of walnuts found under car hood

[Still Waters]

A couple in the US city of Pittsburgh found a surprise stash of hundreds of walnuts hidden under their car bonnet.

The nuts, along with a lot of grass, are believed to have been collected there by squirrels making preparations for winter.

Chris Persic posted photos of the car on Facebook warning that "rodents and vehicles do not mix".

Holly Persic only discovered the hoard when she was driving and noticed a burning smell and strange sound.

After looking under the bonnet, she found the stash, which the couple attempted to clear out before taking the car to a mechanic.

Squirrels will build a nest in a engine compartment if the vehicle is sitting too long. I've seen it many, many times. I don't know how it's suddenly international news.......
