We have a couple of black ones that we feed as well as the greys. They are so beautiful & yes, a rarity. We haven't been able to tell the sex of them yet, but we like to think they're a "couple" so we call them, 👑🐿️Duke & Duchess.🐿️👑 Lol! 😄 Have a lovely Sunday! Peace🕊️😘

When they're young, squirrels love to play & will bite very gently as they play with your hand. They're so smart & affectionate too, so there's no real danger. As they get older & "wild up", however, it does become harder to play with them because they can get a bit carried away & bite & scratch quite hard. The riskiest thing as they mature tho is to get your hands between them & any kind of nut. It's their favourite food & they become quite territorial & food-hoarding when it comes to nuts. As they mature they'll literally 'bite the hand that feeds them' if that same hand is trying to steal back a peanut. They're amazing little creatures tho. Last summer I released a young squirrel I rehabbed. He's in the wilderness & loves it, but I've gone up several times this winter to feed him & make sure he's ok. He still comes when I call & he'll still sit on my shoulder, despite now being a completely wild squirrel. They're very clever, affectionate & have a sense of humour (imo).

I think they do show affection to each other to a lesser degree- Humans are just better at focusing and prolonging the effort. It is an amazing thing to witness cross species. Squirrels have a really amazing skillset :)

@@jsmythib Grooming and playing with each other is many animal species' way of showing affection.

It's possible. Squirrels are supposed to live up to 20 years when being cared for. In the wild diseases and predators make short work of them, but if they are protected and kept healthy they can last as long as cats.

Humans are responsible for so much things ;(

Come to Kentucky we have millions and I would say they have made a rebound here. We set up a night cam for a couple weeks and saw possum, skunk, raccoons, deer, coyote and we live in the city limits. The deer sometimes bed down below my brothers and we have counted over a dozen. That's just in town go further out into the Daniel Boone national park area and you can add bears, wildcat and mountain lion or two and they even find there way in to town every now and then.

Oliver Lavelle Nah, true Red Squirrels have longer ears.

Oliver Lavelle we have lots of red fox squirrels down here in Louisiana

It’s a fox squirrel. They’re more like a grey squirrel, but with an orange belly instead of white.

red fox squirrels are the easiest to tame.

epistte fox swirls are cute

Same thing that happens to us. During winter when hazelnuts & almonds in the shell are in abundance at the stores they get spoiled. Those are great for keeping them fat & warm thru the winter months. They always eat those 1st & the peanuts are always left as a last resort for the "late-comers". Lol! Now, spring is here, shelled hazelnuts & almonds are hard to find in the stores, except for the peanuts... so peanuts it is & they're not happy about it! Beggars can't be choosers 🤷🏼‍♀️Hahaha!😄😄🥜🥜🥜🐿️😄😄 Enjoy your Sunday! Peace🕊️😘

@@jeffrey3756 thank you!!!!

Cute! My dad feeds the squirrels in his yard right out of his hand. His "secret" is patience, consistency, and schedule. He goes out at the same time every day so they expect him. They are nervous about eating out of your hand when they are on the ground, as it's a vulnerable place for them to be. My dad has a shelf on a tree that he'll set the treats on and makes sure they can see him doing it. Eventually, they'll come closer and closer. If you can get one to eat out of your hand, the others will see it and start getting braver and coming closer. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

I believe you're forgotten to mention rabbits!

@@eg4151 🤔 Honestly, I've never paid close enough attention to rabbits to know how intelligent they are. From what I have noticed, by watching wild rabbits come in and out of their dens to do their thing, I haven't noticed any obvious "intelligent behavior" from them. They kinda all do the exact same thing. They leave their burrows from inside hedgerows, walk out to the lawn area, munch on weeds, go back to burrow. I don't see the same degree of curiosity and personality from wild rabbits as I have from squirrels and marmots. I've never owned a domesticated rabbit either, so I can't judge their intelligence...

I thought it was nice music

shut up, nerd

The music fits perfectly.
