Nah, she just kills off everything that doesn't work.



I hope not. I was planning to enjoy my retirement.

OT: Squirrels and oaks

2020-09-15 Thread Larry Colen 
We don’t have a lot of oaks around here so I never noticed this behavior.

Q: If you watch squirrels close enough you may quickly realize that, when it 
comes to oaks, squirrels seem to have a knack for taxonomy. They quickly bury 
red oak acorns while immediately set to work on eating white oak acorns. Why is 
this?
