They Ran Experiments on This Squirrel. Big Mistake. He Won Every Single One.

His name is Squeak. He is a golden-mantled ground squirrel. And he is absolutely, humiliatingly smarter than you think he is.
This remarkable vintage documentary follows Squeak through his daily life — foraging, socializing, and generally being a squirrel. But then the scientists showed up with their little puzzles and their little strings and their little experiments, and Squeak proceeded to make them look like they were the ones being studied.
Pull the string. Solve the puzzle. Find the nut. Use the tool. Squeak did it all.
What starts as a charming nature film quietly becomes one of the most compelling documents of animal intelligence you’ve ever seen — and the subject is a creature most people shoo off their bird feeders.
Never underestimate Squeak. 🐿️
