Scrat
Character from Ice Age by Blue Sky Studios / 20th Century Fox
A small, perpetually unlucky saber-toothed squirrel whose single-minded pursuit of a single acorn has repeatedly altered the course of history.
Also known as: Scrat, the squirrel
What They Know
- Scrat's acorn has caused or contributed to at least one continental drift event, a series of ice-dam failures, and numerous avalanches.
- He has died, drowned, been frozen, and crushed more times than any being should survive, and persists anyway.
- He has a brief romance with a female saber-toothed squirrel named Scratte, which ends badly because she takes his acorn.
- He has no language — all communication is pantomime and facial expression, which proves remarkably expressive.
- He is technically a prehistoric ancestor of modern squirrels, which makes his acorn obsession an evolutionary footnote.
- He has been to the center of the Earth and to the surface of the moon, both acorn-related accidents.
- Despite everything, he never gives up. The acorn is always just within reach.
