How can you tell? It looks like their tails have some life because they didn't fall and aren't flat.

One of my good friends took this picture. He is not a redditor, and no they are not dead. This must be the 3rd time i've seen it come up on reddit.

Yeah... ahem. I remember those. About a year ago, a redditor had found them at the foot of a tree and snapped that picture. Overall consensus was that they were dead.

Anyone else remembers the original thread?

perspective change: they're only a few weeks old clutching together for warmth, they dont leave the nest this early so either they fell out of their nest or the cameraman climbed a tree. in either case the mother will now abandon them because they have human scent.

When I was a kid, I used to find dead animals and arrange them into cute positions, too.
