Dude sleeps for 8 months straight and comes up to bang immediately after. That’s some life
James Bond will return in... 8 months.
LMAO
Dhruv Girgenti L😂L
And without food
Researchers hope that their study of arctic ground squirrel will help them understand the human brain`s potential more fully. Their goal is to learn more about how to prevent or even reverse the cellular damage that occurs in brain diseases, including Alzheimer`s. Did the arctic ground squirrel`s resilient brain come by evolution? Or was it designed?
When u take a nap in the afternoon and wake up at 8 and you don’t know your own name
lol
hahaha so true
Me
That’s a good nap. I love those kinds.
Jessie Dickson lmao 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She invites him to her place.. nice move
She needs him to bust a nut
Why didn't they get a camera down that borrow?
@@Sandler23 u Are a pervert
@@Sandler23 you sick fuck
@@Sandler23 let the squirrels do their "squirrel things" you know
I'm jealous, only 4 months of getting busy then go back to bed for 8 months , evolution at its finest .
Ahahaha
evolution is hoax
alright hotshot
729 more whites and hispanics get welfare than blacks. All of that inbreeding made you prone to ignorance. I blame your mom/sister.
@Ali Tha Phoenix Blacks make up ~40% of welfare all recipients. Whites make up ~40% of welfare all recipients. However, 12.3% of the population in america is black. Whites make up 62-77% depending on if you count white hispanics. So... if you can do math at all, many more blacks are on welfare. Now I won't insult your race like you did either xD
Finally, an animal relationship that doesn't involve pain lol
+RazordraacGaming Or death for that matter. (I'm looking at you spiders!)
Roelof Hetsen well humans do worst. i mean like nowadays people are beginning too cast black magic at each other just too get what they want but black magic won't bring anything good but harm because black magic is evil and it was meant to harm people which is why it is taboo
harido jamaru What are you inhaling? I’d like to try it.
Well, we don't know. What happens inside holes, stays inside holes. Maybe they're into pain.

You are right, but Non Muslims won't understand what you are speaking about dear
The incredible variety of animals in nature never ceases to amaze me.
ImSureItsFine Weird how us humans evolved. We were once like them.

"He's pretty much stopped breathing."
*shows it taking giant breaths every couple of seconds*
oh it's very slow compared to how they usually breath. if u see a real squirrl they breath freakishly fast
Squirrels are tiny, their hearts beat 130 times per second.
@boro vinkovna haha oops i think thats what i meant
When they hibernate, they breath like a couple times minute
"No time to hesitate" as it shows him hesitating. wtf?
Their affection for each other is touching and human-like, and they make the most of their short time awake, bouncing around together and embracing each other's heads, and going down the hole and so on.
"she might be in a hurry, but she might still be choosy" damn. May 27 years old sister felt that
He lol
stop it 😭✋
That's got to be the most comfortable sleep ever. All snug and cozy in there. He actually looks like he is smiling.
They are so cute! Hope the Arctic wildlife and their habitat will always be preserved.
Aww! The way she stomped her little foot, and squeaked to get his attention 💓. He looked at her as if to say. "let me at least fix my hair, and check my breath before we kiss 🤷♂️".
Netflix and chill
+101jlee *BBC Earth* and chill
Mela Pelas Well the "chill" part of that scenario is nature doing its thang I guess, XD!
oh god
+Earth Linger
A lot of BBC Earth's documentaries *are on Netflix.* So the catchphrase "Netflix and Chill" still applies.
Squirrels don't have Netflix. They have Nutflix.
hhhh lol the squirrel has a one night stand.
Most animals usually has one night stands. Especially rodents.
most are not even one night stand, more like 10 seconds stand ...
Then dinner.
Nelson Pham I hate spiders!!!
In animal world, there is no love. They are driven by instinct, and do what they have to do.
Wow! Showing the burrow of the squirrel is something very precious. Even if we put our head inside an empty burrow, the view of the burrow won't be so clear. And the sound of the squirrel's breath, oh god, such a rare thing and BBC Earth gave us an opportunity to have a look and experience of all that from our comfort zone. Thank you so much!
Can we just appreciate the effort put in to documenting this? Amazing!
This squirrel is the definition of "5 more minutes mum!"
I loved how cute they were while courting. He was all gentle and submissive and they touched and hugged. But you know when they went into that burrow there was some hair pulling and biting going on. But still, it was kinda cute.
He went to her place.
Alan, Alan, Alan, Alan.... Alan!!
Shishir Gurung 😂 omg those funny animals videos
Steve!!!!!
Love AlanAlanAlan and Steve!!
Wait.. this isn't from the other guys
That nest was so cosy. Very appealing!
3:48 AWWWW The way they love on each other!!!!
When squirrels get laid but not me
he got better game than you
lol! I was going to say the same thing!!
Lol!
Nobody wants your nuts.
sweiland75 Ikr
Only hookups she says on her Tinder profile.
the way they jump is so funny and adorable
Its amazing how a little squirrel sleeps more than a bear.
They’re so adorable!!!
The Arctic Squirrel teaches us a valuable lesson here. Don’t be afraid to shoot your shot, it’s now or never. Honestly, that’s something we could all learn from the little guy.
But women don't have a limited window for fertilization 😅
Female: "Get in"
Male: "umm.. i dunno."
Female: "My parent's aren't home."
Male: 3:54
¬.¬
two words "HOW BEAUTIFUL"
he is so happy :) i'm happy for him
Imagine sleeping for 8 months then waking up for action and the female says your breath stinks. Come again next year.
exploring the world, filming cute animals with cutting edge technologies .. what an awesome job these guys have
BBC Earth...I'm so happy to have stumbled upon your channel some months back, as I thoroughly enjoy your beautifully filmed & fascinating videos...I've had a lifelong *PASSION* for Nature & wild animals, (actually...ALL animals) & I sincerely love seeing all species living in their natural habitat as Nature intended...
Bear: "We hybernate for a long time"
Artic ground squirrel: "Hold my beer"
Hold my nut
*burrow
Man this guy sleeps 8 months a year and still gets more than me.
Lmao damn
Awe those cute little face strokes x3 Adorable. These guys got life figured out.
"hes pretty much stopped breathing"
*inhales and exhales sharply*
Absolutely impressive and beautiful!
I wish I could sleep that long! I can't even get 8 hrs a night let alone 8 months! What a lucky little guy! I'm so envious!
Narrator: he is pretty much stopped breathing.
Squirrel: *breaths loudly*
😃🤣
I mean, comparing like 2 beats per minute to like 100 beats per minute ... big difference.
only fertile for once a year and only half a day?...
Evolution needs to do this to humans....
THAT GIRL ;P yeah
no.
@@bitchhp2973 oh yeah
@III-GabeN-III more important, Will save lives of the unborn!!!
How amazing is nature! Kudos to BBC earth, for this fantastic story.
He was driving her NUTS lol
Thats such a beautiful creature
I did not know there were arctic squirrels!
DAMN! Fertile for 12 hrs a year! No wonder why they're fighting for her. You almost only get one shot.
The filming skills of BBC is so impressive!
I wish I could sleep for 8 months--and sleep well, as I'll be out like a light. Squirrels living the dream.
Cutest thing ever.
🐿️ That was a, come to my borrough moment! We've got a whole 12 hours! lol 😊
She was so annoyed with every line of her body. That was adorable. She was like “Excuse me, my biological clock is ticking!”
Given how 2020 has turned out, I'd be delighted to hibernate for 8 months.
haha same
The beauty of nature you can't imagine
i can't believe someone can dislike this..
Welcome to UA-cam
jooos did it.
In the two years since this post have you figured out sometimes you accidentally hit the thumbs down button when watching on your phone?
It was the rival male
I like the way he presented himself, apparently so did she.
"I'm only fertile for 12 hours"
"Ok"
"You've got to fight those guys over there and woo me first before I'll let you impregnate me"
"No pressure"
"11 hours and 51 seconds left"
You forgot 59 mins, but nice one
Squirrels are beautiful.
How are they able to film him hibernating without disturbing him, also waiting for him to wake up
Jim Vecchio in the beginning of the video it says it’s a special “burrow camera” so either the burrow is part camera or they managed to sneak a camera in it I guess? Haha
Maybe they put the camera in before he began hibernating and left it there until the summer. They got lucky and the squirrel slept right on screen.
I don’t know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jim Vecchio idk about this situation specifically but when filming nature they use all kinds of weird equipment. They use tiny cameras on bendable poles, that could be what they did here
Or maybe the one they showed in the burrow isn't the same one above ground. Luckily with this technology called film you can chop lots of things together to make them look the same
Squirrel was a paid actor!!
3:20 so true
It’s like Rust Arctic Squirrel edition.
He’s so cute when sleeping
Hello
never seen anything cuter than arctic squirrels flirting
She will only be fertile for 12 hours,
THERE'S NO TIME TO WASTE!
This is the BEST channel on youtube!!
Gosh...I feel so blessed and grateful to all of you folks involved in putting these wonderful videos together...I have learned SO much from you....Many many thanks to all involved...I hope you have a wonderful Christmas even if in a tent somewhere making more incredible videos...you ARE greatly appreciated..hugs all around...OH I have a frog just came in the kitchen window..I think he will appreciate it more outside than in..rescue mission about to ensue..hahaha.love it! 45F good frog temp for now :)

How do you sleep for 8 months that it nuts
jesse beeghly it's not sleeping, it's hibernation, very different. You can't wake up easily during hibernation and it's a natural process that happens every year in some animals, they can't control it, cause it's a way to survive the cold winter when the food supply is extremely low.
Your body force you to hibernate, you don't choose.
F Bart I know it just seems crazy that you start off in basically a coma then you wake up 8 months later. I guess it's good that they don't have a sense of time.
Yep, you do. Which is why they usually eat a lot of fat before hibernating. They usually come out pretty thin too.
jesse beeghly are you a squirrel
Humans do have the state of REM in which one can never be able to wake up naturally by the cycle of dreaming state and the bodyclock that has a fixed time to make ourselves wake up at a certain point of time. It can vary person to person, depending on their daily cycles, schedules, jet-lag, habits, careers etc. Most of working ppl's brain release the sleeping hormones during the night, around 2-4'o clock in the morning. Once the body receives melatonin it has at least 3 hours' half-period to feel the fatigue is completely gone (you'll feel that before this hormone released your mind is sober when waking up and it doesn't feel like you have slept at all). I think the body clock for this animal is set for a much longer time because, most probably, the squirrel's brain keeps releasing sleeping hormones between certain intervals so that it helps them not to feel sober or to wake up during hibernation. I'm neither a biologist nor a vet, so I am not sure how exactly the sleeping cycle works for the immune systems of these little creatures, but sleeping pattern still interests me a lot.
I hope all these life forms remain Hale and hearty in this world 🙏
Squirrel: *Sleeps for right months*
Squirrel: *Checks Watch*
Squirrel: "Oh shet"
So nice squirrel. Beautiful video!!!
Thank you very much BBC Earth.
Would you please add an English subtitle for non-English speakers? In order so this video reaches to a wider range of people.
F that. Just hire a dub narrator. Much more efficient and more direct. Don't give me the excuse the dub will suck. We disproved this claim years ago with current anime English dubs. Some have been known to literally flip an awful show into a great one thanks to allowing them more creative liberty or add more to the original content in a good way. They proved there's no excuse for making bad dubs now. You're just not hiring the right staff on board.
He looks so cozy
"and if you don't seize the moment, it will pass you by"
damn i should realy stop doing music and look for a new girlfriend ...
Hide and Tweak dude this is me LOL
trust me you dont want girlfriend. Also eating and drinking is how you survive. You dont need a relationship to survive
Bro focus on your music. You need to be more dominant towards yourself. You will waste a lot of money and years on a girlfriend for it to not work out
@@chillispeed1365 virgin af
Single is great bro! I get to keep more of my money 😀. You will too.
Lady squirrel ac·qui·es·cence was so cute. The romance in nature. These videos are just tremendous
"out like a light for eight months straight" god I wish that were me
I like it that they have separate bedrooms.
Thank you very much :-) ~ Stunning visuals !!! ~ Life is beautiful
+Peter Petelski beautiful film. .
+Jerzyslonik Happy you like it *Jurek :-)* Thank you too
Peter Petelski happy new weekend Peter. :))) well best. :))) Hugs.
whos peter?
Can u imagine the megastretch you would do after waking up from an 8 month nap.
He gonna tear it up
i wish i could sleep through winter
U guyz have done Very Hard Work..
Respect from india🇮🇳
OUT LIKE A LIGHT AYEEE
This video is very important
"Females emerge a few days later..."
Just like in real life... why can't everyone just be on-time, every time? :|
Sleep while the boys fight it out. No need to worry until morning when everything is sorted and they can pay attention to you.
Can't we have one BBC video where men are't whining about women?
Make no mistake, real men dont waste time on trivial matters much less try to understand women. We either sleep with one eye open or not.
Lemon Zest lol are u offended... Because we wouldnt want you to be uncomfortable
black magic753, don't be stupid. Lemon Zest is speaking truth; I see bitter boys whining about women on almost every video comments. And I say boys because even as adults, they will never grow up and be men.
8 months of sleep end with a bang! Literally 😂, no time left, only squirelling around 😂
They showed this at school!
These squirrels have better love story than me
Any creature that can sleep for eight months and only has to live for four months is my spirit animal.
How cute he is💗🐹
beautiful
2:55 I was expecting this little friend start yelling "Alan" 🤣
Damn squirrel has more swagger than I do.
When I'm in bed now, I like to imagine i'm an Arctic Squirrel in the Burrow Apartment.
Doing it at her place, thats ma boi
3:35 "cmon baby just a kiss"
They about to get freaky in there😭😂😭💀
Out like a light
"Out like a light for eight months straight, he's pretty much stopped breathing"
Me: me
"in the darkness of his burrow, the squirrel's bodyclock drags him out of bed"
Me: also me
"There's no time for hesitation. He makes his move"
Me: ouch
