Haven't you ever seen 1 squirrel chasing another around a tree?They ain't playing.The one in back is trying to run the other off for territorial reasons.They have nuts and mates to claim as their own & are just protecting their food supply or breeding rights.
@doughesson Lol trust me I have kept squirrels for over 30 years, when you see a squirrel chasing another round a tree trunk it is usualy a male chasing a female. It normally only happens when female is on heat.
They will have scirmishes here and there also over food but they do not try to kill each other, sometimes we have congragations of about 30 in a wildlife bird sanctuary and all get on great together with each other and all other wildlife, feeding with the birds, video up soon!
@MrNativeDancer I've seen a squirrel get torn up because it wasn't from that area and was recognized as such.They fight meaner than cats do.The only time I have released squirrels and they were able to remain was that they were female & presented increased breeding opportunity.You see the same things in humans when a woman takes a job somewhere.....
That is ridiculous. Not all animals are equally smart. Elephants have huge brains even for their size and can be trained to do amazing things. Elephants have great memory too and are really emotional.
A squirrel is nothing more than a rodent, a tree rat if you will with a tiny brain. Squirrels are dumb and never learn from their mistakes, hence the can walk into the same trap again and again.
Comparing a squirrel with an elephant is ignorant to say the least.
@AlexDeLarge90 There are quite a few studies that show squirrels are quite intelligent. Rats are also quite intelligent. If you dig around, you'll find plenty of info.
@AlexDeLarge90 Actual size of brain matters little. An ethologist looks at brain over body ratio. But minute differences latter ratio aren't important either.
Animals with greater variety of social habits are generally smarter. Social vocalizations like laughter are inherent to rats & great apes, & arguably, to squirrels. Squirrels do share altruistic behavior with humans/other mammals, pigeons show comprehension of concepts.
Most human cognitive processes are found lower on evolutionary ladder
just goes to show ya...one minute you're playing in a tree, the next you're dead and you got a squirrel tryin to bring ya back to life...i see it everyday, such a shame....lolllll
@BodhiZypher Elephants have bigger brains. Squirrels also have no comprehension of the danger imposed by a car moving towards them. Thats why they are always roadkill.
Why didn't you shoot it? I shot one today that was by it's nest and more came out to help it, I managed to get 2 lol! It's so epic watching them fall from the tree with half a head.
@geffski Yes. This is another reason why I'm Deist, and do not have a religion. I believe in everything from the Big Bang to evolution. The only thing that truly makes me a Deist is that before the Big Bang, an omniscient being sparked it, but otherwise, I do believe the Universe was created about 14bya. Apparently the bible likes separating humans from animals. Also, I do not believe Jesus, Moses, or Muhammad had any supernatural powers. I just believed them as being figureheads; nothing more.
Cannibalistic squirrel! That's how the spread of rabies happens... Then before you know it, the zombies attack! No joke, I have a plan for when they do
I had a pet squirrel. They are some of the most emotionally intune animals I have ever met. My little guy used to come crawl in my lap when i was crying and he'd lick the tears off my cheeks. when my husband was away, he would sense I was lonely and he would sleep curled up underneath my chin in bed with me.. he never did that otherwise. They are amazing, social creatures that feel very deeply. I just love them
wow i am surprised the other squirrels are not eating the dead one. I have seen numerous species do it like squirrels and ground squirrels and prarie dogs ect.
thats weird.... one time a squirrel fell out of a tree in my backyard, coushoned by leaves and grass. he hit the ground, froze for about 5 seconds and then ran like hell up the nearest tree he could find
I think it just wanted to eat some fleas and didn't concerned itself with minor and insignificant facts like - whether the other squirrel is alive or not
how can a squirrel just fall and die?i have never seen something like this and i also have never heard that a squirrel dies a natural dead.especially in america.i guess, both did play and one got shot by a squirrelkiller.and because they did play seconds before, he was looking why his buddy did stop moving!
That is grooming behavior. Squirrels, mothers and offspring, will groom each other, but usually when they're both still alive. The live one probably doesn't know the other one is dead.
He's not eating the other squirrel. It's grooming or similar. They can reciprocate this like with primates. He probably thinks this may help get a response. My squirrel does something like this to wake me up.
@SardonicusRexx That's another connection that shows that rodents and lagomorphs are more closely related top primates than canids, felids, horses, bears and many other animals. Rodents and lagomorphs are in the same super order (Supraprimates) as primates, trees shrews, and colugos (flying lemurs) are in. I have a pet American hooded fancy rat named Millie. She’s very acknowledging and intelligent. She always starts jumping at me me, from her cage, when I arrive home from school.
@SardonicusRexx i nuzzle my boyfriend in the morning in the back of the neck, he wakes up, and rolls over...i get squished...does that count? lol poor squirrel
i don't think he knows what he's doing because he's just a squirrel. evolutionarily, i suspect the tail shake is for territory defense (or possibly a mating signal), and then it looks like he's grooming the other squirrel, which is a friendly signal, probably because the dead squirrel didn't make any aggressive signal in response to the live squirrel's signal.
Awwwwwwwww noooo he was too young
