IT'S A TRICK

A gold miner found a mysterious grapefruit-sized fur ball. It turned out to be a 'perfectly preserved' 30,000-year-old squirrel.

I would assume that's better than finding a 30,000 yo squirrel shaped grapefruit?

I've been to Hollywood
I've been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean
For a 30K year old balled up squirrel of gold
I've been in my mind
It's such a fine line
That keeps me searching
For a 30K year old balled up squirrel of gold of gold
And it's getting old
Keeps me searching
For a 30K year old balled up squirrel of gold of gold
And it's really old, now turned to mold

They have been around for a VERY long time. You can't get rid of them.

Goodness, gracious! Great balls of fur!

Excellent song references @man tom and Meanie the Blue!

According to this historical document, the previous record for oldest know squirrels was 2,000 years.
