We know squirrels look cute and all with their big bushy tails, but you do know squirrels are just rats with good PR, right?

If you don't think squirrels are a menace that need to constantly be checked, maybe this will change your mind.


On Google Maps, while scrolling through the wonderful town of New Braunfels, a building is marked as a "Secret Squirrel Facility!"  What is the secret, and why do the squirrels need a whole facility to do it?!

The building first came to the attention of Reddit, but the squirrels seem to have caught on because when you visit the location on Google Maps, the label has been removed.

And honestly, the truth about what this building might be is better than a whole facility of squirrels trying to plan world domination.

According to ClearanceJobs, a career networking website for professionals with federal government security clearance, the term "secret squirrel" refers to a person who is "working on covert operations or has secret, confidential knowledge."

What in the Stranger Things is going on in New Braunfels?!
