Squirrel Carrying Nut In Autumn Stock Photography

There is evidence that gray squirrels organize caches, putting different types of nuts into separate caches in a process called spatial chunking. Squirrels use their memory and excellent sense of smell to find these categorized caches. Squirrels also try to eat a lot to build fat reserves for the winter. Squirrel nuts are nuts that are still in their shells, such as walnuts, white oak acorns, hickory nuts and beechnuts.
