Super Squirrel (2015x2)

:

The furry denizens of any American backyard often go unnoticed, but their feats of agility, intelligence and imagination deserve a closer look. Tree squirrels are quite common in suburban backyards. Not only do squirrels survive and cohabitate with humans, but they appear to thrive in our shared spaces. Witness the mental and physical attributes that make it all possible. Squirrels cache and hoard food to prepare for hard times but any time away from the safety of the canopy is spent negotiating natural and manmade dangers — often in competition with rival squirrels. We analyze each skill and discover how everyday rodents morph to become Super Squirrels.
