" The fire's lit, but the cauldron's empty, " as Ivor Dillonsby put it to me, or, in Enid Smeek's slightly earthier phrase, " She's nutty as squirrel poo."
After hearing noises and smelling burning, the woman who owns this SUV looked under the hood and found that squirrels apparently stored 200 walnuts right there along with some grass.
There's just one more study I'd like to mention which is by Sarah Partan and her team, and they've been looking at how squirrels communicate in an urban environment.
It's occurred to me that a ground squirrel or a city robin is in some ways wilder than these wolves, because although they might live in a city, no one is managing their day-to-day life.
