It wasn't a one step red, two steps blue... it was jump in the middle of the platform because it's stable regardless of the colour. You can clearly see that at the end when they do it across the whole course.
you know you’ve hit ultimate procrastination level for uni assignments when you’re sitting here watching squirrels do obstacles courses...instead of writing essays due in 48 hours
Another perfect demonstration why scientists and animal filmers ALWAYS will come short when it comes to the solution finding of animals, even, or rather especially, when the people setting up such problems BELIEVE they have figured out all ways to solve the problem. Watch and learn: nature, especially animals will nearly ALWAYS surprise you by finding a solution you HAVEN'T thought of.
Would be nice to see if they associate colors with springiness. If they do you should be able to change the position of the obstacles and they will know exactly what obstacle is static and which is wiggly.
You think Squirrels are dumb, think again. They learn from their previous mistakes and will eventually get to the food. Squirrels are stubborn and very persistent when it comes to getting food. I have seen allot of you-tube videos with squirrels getting to the food even with various deter obstacles in the way.
They’re also landing/jumping off pretty much the exact middle of the red ones, which would reduce the wobble, compared to landing/jumping off the edges of the blue ones
Human logic: red is difficult so let's learn to avoid it. Squirrel logic: it's a straight shot with some difficult reds in the path, let's learn to overcome them.
They see the screw in the middle and thats there mark to jump to and even if you painted that they'd figure out the stability. Speed is there factor, the faster you travel through the course the easier it gets.
👍 #2K+ Hello friend, I have just stumbled across your channel via this video of the fabulous Squirrel obstacle course. I too have learned as recently as last week at how clever Squirrels are at quickly figuring out where there are nuts and how to overcome and obstacle to get to them. ◕‿◕ I spent 5 days going back to film the Reds I stumbled upon after filming a Jay in woodland and turning around to see a Red Squirrel in my bag tearing a bag of peanuts open! Back to your obstacle course, I am now considering perhaps trying to set something up for a little fun, but nothing as advanced as your incredible experiment with the coloured discs which they soon figured out. How amazing they figured out a single step on red and 2 on the blue discs was the best way to get there. Thanks for sharing this as it was an incredible and most enjoyable watch. Have a great Christmas! 👍◕‿◕
I found here in texas there are two dominant species of squirrel the one that wins the dunce hat has a gloden tan underside the one that can be caught trained and become outright playful has the white underbelly I caught one and after observing it I decided to just turn it loose in my room. After a few days it started coming out of hiding soon it was sleeping in my sock drawer. Eating and playing with me after a few months I let it out because I had to go to the hospital.
Squirrels in action at our neighborhood. These are caged squirrels that are brought to this neighborhood. Squirrels like to eat fruits and vegetables. Squirrels like to live on trees and walls. good squirrels did not eat chilies. 🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿🐿
"Stable blues"?? Tree branches are never stable/rigid. How would a squirrel narrate this clip, if it can speak... The squirrel is like a fast vehicle with a very advanced and reliable shock system, and uses any bobbling as energy returned to assist the forward propel.

I have used the Havahart EZ-set # 1083 to dispose of 360 grey squirrels since June 2014 but most of them were caught in the most recent 3 years AFTER I began using the 1083. The 1-door EZ-set traps save me time in 3 different ways: 1) They are MUCH easier and faster to set. You can set them in 10 seconds. 2) they are also much easier to bait because you just put the bait behind the trigger plate, instead of trying to balance the bait on top of the trigger plate. 3) I don't have any false alarms any more because the 1083 is NEVER set off by small birds. It takes a 1 pound animal to set off the 1083 and almost all grey squirrels weigh at least 1 pound. That is important if you are not home to keep checking your traps. You will never catch a squirrel, if the trap is closed for hours with a small bird inside. I used to use a 1030 for squirrels but since I bought 2 of the EZ set traps I stopped using the older model traps. I NEVER waste the carcass of these rodents. I take them to the exact same location in a nearby wooded area and allow scavengers like possum to recover them. When you do this, you are contributing to the biodiversity in your area.

Dont know why I love squirrels so much. Just nice to have them around, doing their thing.

they learn to hit the center of the wobbly disks.something they do on small branches as routine.
They made their own way 😊 to me, that's even better than figuring it out the way the researchers had initially intended. Hooray!!!
omg the squirrel has so much agility!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow!! This is so interesting! We watch them in our backyard casually but never realized how much intelligence and persistence they have
2:07 That landing was...! OMG
Who’s here after mark rober’s video?

Ibrahim Allan it was just so cool I wanted more
Bravo!!!! I'm thoroughly impressed with these cute little rodents!!!
👏👏👏👏

"Testing things out and making mistakes. "
The story of my life!
I think squirrels might be one of my favorite animals now
Squirrels are incredibly intelligent. It took everything I had to come up with the Evictor Strobe Light........ to evict squirrels in attics.
Truly they are one with The Force.
You have to reward these little champions, they are very determined !
I need this in my yard. So cool.
Wtf am I watching at 4am
That's what I ask myself at 4am everytime lol
Some damn clever rodents flying.
Squirrels are sooo cool and they are all smarter than the average congressman!
This was wonderful! Some people clearly have too much time on their hands, thankfully. Kudos.
these little animals are so intelligent ..
and most people think squirrels are just rodents... lol they're little friggen acrobats.

Squirrels are so smart 🥰
Really??? ❤ :D
Damn, their arm strength though!
Brain the size of a peanut 🥜 yet very intelligent and agile. They learn from trial and error and remember their mistakes from previous experience.
Human logic: red is difficult so let's learn to avoid it.
Squirrel logic: it's a straight shot with some difficult reds in the path, let's learn to overcome them.
amazing how they land EXACTLY in the center ob the reds, smart buggers
Ya
If motivational posters were videos, this would be the one for "Determination".
I want this for my backyard 😁
Squirrels are very good climbers and jumpers and they run really fast
The squirrel flies on the parachutes through the places
those wee dogs are very good at that mate x
Little goons, these fellas
1:00 I'm sorry but this was hilarious
Awww man just awesome to watch!
0:59 did you see that pull up?
Squirrel's gettin' some GAINS!!!
I love the music.
15th best video ever
I used to call Mark Rober's video Squirrel Obstacle Course without actually realizing that an older video with that exact name already existed.
Sometimes I get embarrassed, for being a human. Just feed the squirrel like normal.
Imagine if we had to work that hard....Just to eat. 🤦♀️
They see the screw in the middle and thats there mark to jump to and even if you painted that they'd figure out the stability. Speed is there factor, the faster you travel through the course the easier it gets.
Wipeout for squirrels
Calm down you frog lol
!!!!!
The squirrel learnt how to balance but not the difference between color plates. I suggest increase the distabce between the plates.
Wow!!!! Omg they are highly intelligent!!!!
Oh ya my god
Ninja Squirrel :)
God's creation is amazing.
That was hilarious.
Our squirrels know our car and come when we come home with groceries like domestic pets do. T
hey smart!
Fascinating!!!

Yep
Me lol

Driven on by their desire for nuts,
Awesome that’s so cool
I'm kinda surprised I haven't found a 'good job dean' comment yet. third video and no squirrel dean joke to be found yet.
Loooollll this is so interesting!

Fantastic job😘😘😘
This will never be not awesome
This is flora and Ulysses all over again

I believe the squirrel was training you. 😅
Awesome!
I didn't imaginei would be sitting here watching an animal version of Wipeout
The squirrel can see the food!
Put some spinning tables out there. 👍
Not as good as the two mark rober made but still a challenge!
