Why Do Squirrels Like Acorns? | The Children's Museum of Indianapolis

Not to mention erosion and natural disasters. I really enjoyed reading the article and the point of view and information is entertaining and interesting. From my readings, I think that thousands do grow into trees each year in the United States alone Dude that is awesome! Even with only thousands that is still a few hundred in every state!

Welcome to Larry Hodgson’s world

Absolutely true, If Peanuts would grow up North here in N. I would have acres of them growing each year. They love to come knocking on my back door for multiple treats daily just to bury them in mine and all the neighbors yards. I also read that they are one of the most trusting animals in regards to humans. I have them running from the tree tops when they see me now!

Acorns as Food

They literally sit on the back of my porch chairs looking in the door to see if I am there. They have gotten so bold as to tell my cats to get out of the way so they can pass them on the porch. It cracks me up everyday.

My dog and cats used to catch and eat them almost every day when we lived near some. Not to put a darker side on the post. I really enjoyed it! Damn, if only squirrels can survive in a tropical country like mine Reforestation then would be not difficult.

TIL that squirrels plant thousands of trees per year simply by forgetting where they hid their acorns! A couple other interesting facts about squirrels: Squirrels can smell food under a foot of snow. Their front teeth never stop growing. Newborn squirrels are born blind. Squirrels pack on weight to stay warm during the winter.

Haha yes I did! I think you are right! In South America they imported beavers from Canada. When an acorn crop is especially good, deer may produce more twin fawns , thanks to improved nutrition. A failed acorn season can cause wildlife populations dependent on acorns to decline.

How squirrels plant acorns

A single oak tree can produce thousands of acorns in one season. My patio in autumn can become covered with acorns, like a carpet of crunchy ball bearings, and a walk in the backyard can turn into a gauntlet of pelting acorns, stinging to head and shoulders. The blasted acorns are everywhere. Which raises a point you may find interesting.

Wild things have two strategies for ensuring that they produce enough offspring to keep the species going—individuals of some species mature fast , produce a lot of young, and die soon think mice or rabbits ; in other species, individuals mature slowly , reproduce slowly, but live long think of African elephants, with their two-year gestation period usually resulting in a single calf, with females beginning to breed in their mid teens and preferring to mate with males older than 40, and adults sometimes living into their 70s.

Long life tends to equal low birth rates, because the individuals have time over the years to produce at least two offspring that mature and reproduce. The reason, of course, is all those animals feeding on the nuts. The mighty oak tree is a sitting duck. This Bill Saves Wildlife in Crisis. Urge Congress to Support It.
