  • Flat battery - Trap for young players

  • wow dumbass...squirrels can smell food too!

  • Try closing the door next time..Einstein! You're being watched! Rocky squirrel is no dummy...HE'S WATCHING YOU PUT THE NUTS UNDER THE CUPS! THAT'S RIGHT.... He's out there in the bushes with binoculars!

  • That kid haven't seen a PS3....

  • Narater "Squirells burry nuts all over the place ... But how do they find them"

    Me "Ever seen a squirell climb up your pants??? Yeah .. thats how they find them"

  • wanna see a clever scquirrel finding food? Look for the video SQUIRREL EATS AN ONION , its pretty funny

  • that squirrel used a cheat code!!

  • those squirrels sure do like to eat that kids nuts must hurt alot :D

  • the squirrel is stupid look at 1:58 why dont it just take all the nuts in the bowl :D Press like if im right

  • Unfortunatly, the squirrel eated "The End" so he continued his research about squirrel. And by the time he became a scientific and became popular and rich witch he was glad to get supported to continue about squirrel and then he... lol why would I write a story WHY?!... anywait. He's smarter than those scientist.

  • I love squirrels

  • i want cookies

  • That kid is one smart guy

  • isn't she the voice to league of legends lol

  • never give up young fella. you look inspired.

  • now alls you need to do is put yellow cups in trees wait then shoot those tree rats with an air rifle

  • John, you're a very intelligent young lad. Congrats on your experiment.

  • This kid is going to get a PHD one day! :)

  • It's looks to me like it smells the nuts. :S

  • very cute! you might like my squirrel vid ;-)

  • That tale is so cute!

  • great idea to have kids do the investigation!

    Also, now I kinda want to put my backyard squirrels to the test!

  • at min 2.00 that squirrel is blind or what is that i nthere looks like nuts 2 me

  • Love this vid. Think that he may become a great scientist!

  • Future Mythbuster for sure.

  • Love his cute accent

  • Just follow your nose! That's how the squirrel finds it's food! It's not trying to waste time remembering colors and shapes! There's no doubt that a squirrel is very intelligent, but this is a very poor experiment and only a human would consider, "doing things the hard way", as a sign of intelligence. Most of us humans are VERY stupid.

    Oh, but the kid conducting the experiment is a clever boy for trying to study the squirrel in his own way. Good for him. In time, he'll know more about squirrels.

  • 0:06

    "The BBC, in their wisdom, has asked me to find out how squirrels find their nuts."

    I always assumed they just looked down...

  • A smart Boy that is!

  • squirl 5/ ginger 0

  • reminds me of over the hedge....I FOUND MY NUTS! xD

  • interesting.

  • I want to catch a squirrel by the tail! :D

  • @DarkAngelrace not smart trust me did once to a baby squirrel and now i have two scares on my hand

  • It is nice to see  it proved that some humans also have inelligence, too....

  • wet their whistles with clean water in clean dish daily

  • good job john

  • @ratwithchainsaw At least it wasn't a grenade.. ^^'

  • nice one, you should be a scientist when you're older!

  • REACT

    Pen is position opinion (RANK)

  • man i wish a large television network would ask me to do an experiment!

  • The squirell boy..

  • Great job John. I have a raft of squirrels that visit here.

  • very interesting

  • were chargin up cha battree

  • to understand animals all we have to do is look at ourselves. obviously it's a combination of all its senses, sight, smell, sound, learned patterns, and everything else, that it uses to find the nuts.

  • nice research! It's incredible the memory of such small animals with smaller brains. And we humans tend to forget things quite often lol

  • i dont know mate, but they just rats with fluffy tails. good video.

  • yeah, except the yellow cups at the end still have the smell of nuts. He should put nuts in all of the cuts, then remove them.

  • Great job John , Cool Thinking !

  • I thought that this was very interesting.  John you are a very bright young boy!!!

  • Squirrels love corn which is yellow.

  • I house i lived in near the ocean in canada. i had squirrels ever year when the walnuts came out. they worked in a tem of 4. there was one brought them from the tree to another who ran across the top of fence to another, that would then take to there stock pile for the winter.they did it every year.

  • why didnt he steal the bowl of nuts?

  • Very impressive.

  • you're so lucky! i wish a squirrel crawled up to me and takes nuts straight out of my hand :[

  • Heh Feed em everyday I do it but hes shy... You can also pet them

  • that looks like a real scientific experiment

  • This is a trick! He shuts off the camera then he tells the squirrel to look under the yellow cup and then he turns the camera back on and of course the squirrel looks under the yellow cup now that he`s been told where the nut is!

  • Yeah, cause squirrels understand English.

  • ..or maybe John understands Squirrelish.

  • @TheRavenPK swekie sweak skwekins * emperors new grove reference*

  • pfft i could do that those rats aint all that and a bag of chips

  • animals are smarter than we think, please watch earhtlings if you like animals, it's quite interesting.

  • ITS THE SMELL DICK HEADS

  • By the end of this experiment, they will have a full blown peanut farm using the cheapest labor possible.

  • now hes 50 and has written a 500 page books of nothing but squirrels

  • lollolo

  • Squirrels creep me out. I used to think they were cool until I climbed a tree that had a squirrel nest in it. Damn, talk about a nasty surprise.

  • kids annoying lol

  • LEGEND

  • C'est super ce que tu fais!! Quelle chance d'en approcher de si près !

  • amazing!well done,John!!

  • i say if the squirrels are looking for their nuts, just look in their pants! :)

  • i totally agree with the comment below.

    it's given me a new insight to life.

    i bought one of those paint sets.

    theyre amazing!

    :O

  • This was utterly amazing...

    It changed my life for the better...

    :|

  • It's a young Rick Astley!!

  • awesome wish i could do that

  • gingers are cool.

    red squirrels are best.

  • ahhhh ginga

  • Fun research

  • Fascinating research, especially for such a young kid...I wonder if he came up with that all on his own?

  • Course not.

  • Yeah that's what I was leaning towards, it was more or less "it would restore some of my faith in humanity if he actually came up with this himself".

  • haha ginger

  • lol

  • Very intresting,they are cute as well as clever.

  • I have to agree :P they're so adorable when they walk on the ground because it looks like they think they're either going to slip or like the world will fall from under them

  • I think its also possible that the squirrel could still smell the nuts that used to be under those positions, and even on the cups that used to have the nuts.

  • help me fand mah noots!

  • retards the fucking squirrell can smell the damn nut!!!! -_- ppl are so stupid...

  • Next time watch & listen to the vid, then maybe you wont make retarded comments.

  • affhole

  • i like how the kid tells us how much the paint set was.

  • Wow even squirrels have common sense ..theres no excuse for stupidity!...lol and wow he actually bought that paint set for 1.99!

  • intresting video

  • Clever critters! Clever kid!

  • yeah most european kids are smart and i know cause im a american and no american wud do a thing americans are too busy doing unproductive things

  • i agree

  • liek postin' comments?

  • same to u mate :D

  • wasting time is like breathing

  • emo much?

  • Amerifag

  • sounds like a poor european filth lol jk i was born in austria :D

  • Woot stockport.

  • why do people think animals are stupid?

  • id say religion..i was talking [arguing] with some preacher guy and he was trying to convince me all animals are stupid, have no emotions and no thoughts even though that is clearly not true :L

  • clearly that guy is a an idiot who never had much contact with animals or just never liked animals. it doesnt take a rocket scientists to observe a dog or cat learn new things, feel happy, curious, sad, or even have little personal habits of their own...just like people.

  • Animals have no life they just smell of pikachu and eat mudkipz all day ZOMG I HEARD U LIEK MUDKIPZZZZ ;D

  • I had some shake from my marijuana stash and I mixed it in in with bread and canola oil to make little bread balls to feed the squirrels. They love it and come back everyday for more :)

  • this brilliant 1.99 piant set

    lmfao

    this made me laff

  • great!

  • ginger kid! :D

  • ahhh...a future scienist in the making

  • That is nuts!

  • yepe child research

  • even thought Sir David attenboroughs voice would have done this nicely ;) i think its great that kids are becoming more involved with this type of thing instead of just adults doing it all the time :P
