Facts:
Squirrels don’t dig up all of the nuts that they bury, which is why we get new trees growing.
The squirrel is the only wild mammal who lives in open, direct contact with humans. Squirrels are right there with us. They live on our level and toil on the same schedule as humans, in every season. They share our approach to life’s problems: they save and plan ahead, obsessively. They make deposits and debits (of nuts and seeds, mostly); build highways (returning to well-known routes in and around trees); manage 30-year mortgages (they can inhabit a single nest for that many years); refrigerate their staples and dry their delicacies for storage. They work the day shift and live in walk-up apartments.
