We all know that one of the few reasons a chicken crosses the road is to get to the other side. However, more often than not, it's a dog, duck, or even a cat that scurries across that same road to reach its destination. In this instance, the animal in question just so happens to be a furry little squirrel and his reason to get to the other side is far more death-defying.

During the Ultimate Lamborghini Experience 4 in California, a squirrel was taking his chances crossing the road when a Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV driving at over 100 mph zoomed down and just missed the furry critter. The squirrel was smart enough to slow down and let the Lamborghini pass right over it, but unfortunately, it wasn't quick enough to tuck its tail in. Other than a shorter tail, the squirrel scurried away from the incident unharmed, but probably quite shaken.

Reminder: The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV is powered by a 6.5 liter V12 engine that produces 670 HP. This power allows the vehicle to make the 0 to 60 mph sprint in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 212 mph.
