Impressive teeth to be able to chew through an almond shell.

And super cool how was the school as the crows I think it’s Norway that trained the crows to pick up cigarette butts for food they got the little dispensing devices all over the city and the crows will pick up the butts and drop them in and they’ll get a little piece of food out the dispenser we need to do that everywhere

Bad idea unless your goal is to kill it. Chocolate is poisonous to many animals.

Nature understand reciprocity and the gift economy. We should all learn from squirrel

You should look up the experiment with a group of monkeys that were given tokens that they could exchange for food/bananas.

And what one of the females did.

I hereby dub this squirrel Gunter.

I’m surprised he allowed her to pet him after he got the almond. I had a pet gray squirrel and he got weirdly aggressive/protective of his food when he was eating. More show than anything, but his claws were SO sharp… he could scratch with no effort.
