Article - Nut? What Nut? The Squirrel Outwits to Survive
Link: http://tinyurl.com/2b3y8gp
This is a great article in the NY Times written by Natalie Angier about squirrels and how well they adapt. My favorite excerpt includes this story about the Washington DC squirrel.
Follow up:
"Squirrels can learn by watching others — cross-phyletically, if need be. In their book "Squirrels: The Animal Answer Guide," Richard W. Thorington Jr. and Katie Ferrell of the Smithsonian Institution described the safe-pedestrian approach of a gray squirrel eager to traverse a busy avenue near the White House. The squirrel waited on the grass near a crosswalk until people began to cross the street, said the authors, "and then it crossed the street behind them.""
