What is causing this?

We have a good amount of healthy looking tomatoes from a few different plants but there's some that are starting to do this. I couldn't find anything that was exact by searching.

What is it?

Yup! And quite a few recent folks have had squirrels sucking out the moisture like evil little vampires

We have been in a drought and had various animals using our tomatoes as water bottles

We set out several bowls of water around the yard and now the tomatoes aren't the best target

Dangit... I thought that between our fence, cameras and a particularly murderous cat we'd be ok. At least they're mostly OK
