About half of them don’t survive their first winter.
However it’s astonishing what they can do physically (I don’t know of anyone else that can run at full speed up or down a tree with their nuts in their mouth), & they can solve problems with the trial & error method. I’ve seen a film clip when a squirrel got into the dispenser tray at the bottom of a vending machine & no more than 5 seconds later, came back out with a candy bar.
BBC has put out a couple of documentaries about squirrels, named Daylight Robbery, & Daylight Robbery 2. You’ll never look at squirrels the same way again…
Kill the evil little chitterdevils!

Gah! I hate tree-rats!
The young squirrels are frequently silver. At least in my part of the universe.
And they seem to be made of fluff and bad ideas. How a single one of them manages to survive to become an adult is beyond me.
The same could be said of human adolescents…

I’ve always found funny that the only people who don’t think squirrels are super-adorable are the people that actually have had to live next to them.
Also anyone who hasn’t read EGS
Grace is definitely adorable – mostly, some of her forms can be a bit scary
Around here, they Aminita Muscaria mushrooms, go all psycho, and sit in the trees swearing at us humans for using their air.
