It’s theorized that this is why oak trees make an inordinate number of acorns every 7 years. It tricks the squirrels to burying more acorns than they could possibly consume without them getting used to the abundance.

Forget or spontaneous agriculture? Any computational xenolinguists know how to ask a squirrel about its intentions?

Fun? fact: Squirrels have the most food scarcity in spring because thier acorn stashes start sprouting before more acorns have fallen.

Unfun facts, I’ve been feeding the birds for several years and obviously 95% of that went to the squirrels and there were dozens and they all disappeared last year. I found a few pieces of squirrel corpses around, something killed them all and ate them. Have no idea what it was.
