Mama Squirrel Rescues Baby
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2016
- Hannah's baby boy falls to the driveway, and Hannah spends an hour trying to get it back up to the nest. Notes: Yes, I added the grill, because Hannah was doing a trapeze swing from the roof. When a baby left it could never get back in. Their nest is located in the roof soffit... with no access to insulation, wiring, or the attic. After this video I also added a back grill so they would not fall getting back in, like this one did, and like Hannah almost does at 6:17. This all became very useful just recently when an owl tried to grab a baby, and was blocked by the grill work. Hannah moved out for the summer of 2017 and showed back up last week, and found that her daughter from 2015 had claimed the roof and has two babies already in there.

When you first said she was going to carry the baby back I thought there was NO way, he's almost as big as she is. She was persistent, and surprisingly smart and in the end...mama always gets her way.
Amanda Tanton yeah. Right. Mama never fails
I have a mama squirrel and a few baby squirrels that I feed on a daily and I think mama was pregnant but shes skinny now and like the same size as one of the babies
Mother's love is the greatest love in this world.M(other_ is next)
I admire Mamma squirrel's commitment, determination, and tenacity. Being a Mom isn't easy!
It's Darwinian evolutionary purpose in action; and "the selfish gene". Her purpose in life, to which she may not be consciously aware, is to raise successful offspring that will keep those genes alive.
Mama squirrel is not only incredibly strong also tenacious in her how she cares. I wish ALL babies had mothers like this.
Ya my mother was a Satanic methhead DEMON..I so know
Mothers these days are injecting their babies with trial goop because corporations control gov.
Trimming the branch shows a level of planning I wouldn't have expected from a squirrel.
That just proves how smart they really are!
They are pretty clever little things.
They are very smart in some ways and not so smart in others (eat too much and get stuck, but then people do that too). They are excellent at immediate problem solving, i.e. what needs to be done right now to get the outcome they want. Is that planning?
Lmao
@@DenkyManner Yes, it is.
"Screw it mom, I'm gonna be a ground squirrel."
I wonder if the local chipmunk family would take him in?Lol
Can I move into the basement, mom? I'm not Rocky.
This is fantastic, such a treat to watch. When he was clinging to her head and she couldn't see to make the jump, I was dying laughing, and again when he was clinging for dear life to the deck railing, squirming out of being carried. So adorable. I'm so glad you recorded the whole ordeal. It was fascinating to watch.
Sometimes animals are so patient with their young. If it was me, I would have left him there, especially after all exhausting myself trying to save the baby.
What an amazing experience! Thank you for posting without any annoying music or commentary. And, most of all, thank you for your kindness to animals.
What a kind thing you did to help this squirrel family ! They really struggle to survive.
This is SO adorable !!! The baby is almost as big as she is. I can't believe her persistence to make sure he's safe, and I love the end, "Squirrels can't count."
What a tenacious mama! He's a blessed baby.
That is one hard working mamma!
Love those mommas!
I bet he got a spanking when they got home
@@2degucitas he did nothing wrong, as a baby he fell 2 floors down from the doves on hard terrain foundations. After that, he was of course aware of the danger of heights. His mama did everything right to save him and also to show to him to not be afraid. She is more understanding than you, she will not spank him.
omgosh I felt so bad for the baby (that's how you get childhood fears) but happy to see mother didn't give up on him

"No son of mine is gonna be a punk..." Mama Squirrel laying down the law
7 month later Update: Baby is fully grown. He shared the nest with mom for several months and then moved out.
Dancing Llama most people try to remove squirrels from their home and you made them one. That is awesome!
I'd let them stay in my yard if they let me stare at them or entertain me.
Dancing Llama That's so awesome! The video was great! Loved it!
Cute
What a great video. Thank you for sharing it. That mother was determined to save her baby
Squirrels are VERY intelligent and I'm glad you shared this! What a caring mama!!
This was awesome to get to observe. Thank you so much for recording it. I couldn't believe it when she took his anchor branches away LMAO they are truly amazing creatures and your video helps show others that so that they can have a greater appreciation for squirrels. Thank you!
From a fellow squirrel lover!
Of over 20 videos today, this is nothing short of extraordinary. Your captions, tho, narrating what was going on, really made it gripping. Thanks for this incredible tale!
True that
What a sweet setup you have for Hannah and her family. Thank you for posting!
This is like an action movie…. The way she hangs there holding him. Squirrels are just amazing.
Hannah: Mother of the year award. Thank goodness my son wasnt this troublesome. I think they are one of the most smartest animals.
Ba Ri mostly squirrels are extremely intelligent. They can fool crows and other birds by stashing decoy of there food.
@@Fugeta20 Yes, i witnessed that long ago. They have analytical skills to solve problems and will think about it and come back with a solution (literally). They also can pretend hiding a nut in a cache that they leave empty to fool other squirrels.
Fascinating video. That mom is so determined and dedicated.
Update: Haven't seen the little boy in three days. Got worried. So I pried a vent open on the roof, and saw him moving around in there. He just (understandably) isn't that interested in the outdoors right now. I added a vertical back grill to their porch (where you see Hannah almost fall at 6:17 ), so her kittens can climb back into the hole without falling in the future.
Dancing Llama wow that's nice of you. boy what a good mom huh. that was amazing. one of the best videos I've seen
Dancing Llama Such a good momma! Great video and editing! Awesome ending and a special "Thank You!" for making it more safe & secure for the now nervous baby.
+Dancing Llama I sleep a little easier knowing that people like you exist....I just hope your numbers aren't as few as I imagine them to be. Thanks for sharing...it was unbelievable, I will not forget this video.
Dancing Llama
Well I guess u know u r wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!
ture said -- thumps up of like peoples who care for such mute n innocent ones---- sometime me too feel uneasy for them dear [in fact most of the time]---- assuming that i'm just an over sensitive one--- but a sigh--- i'm not the one

Poor Hannah! I bet she wanted to just strangle him by the time she got him home, but probably just opted for a well deserved nap. Good job, Hannah!
amzing video. God bless you! i live in an apartment in NY and saw a mamma squirrel try to get one of her babies to jump from a rail onto a window, which was about 5 feet away, and then onto the fire escape to go up to the nest she built on the fire escape. i watched this sweet little baby try to jump several times after mamma coaxed him/her a zillion times!!!! the baby jumped and once fell right on the concrete steps below the fire escape. i averted my eyes...thought i was gonna die, because the poor thing fell about 8 feet down, but she/he made it. she/he was very very scared to jump onto the window again...but she did it..hung onto the brick walls as much as she could but then let go. I must say the mamma was Extremely patient in all of this. she came down several times during the day... it took ALL day for her to get the baby to jump to the window then to the fire escape, and then up the stairs to the nest. i cried at times watching this. if only "some" people are as caring as squirrels with their young!!! blessings to you and yours
Yay! This was absolutely epic. What an amazing momma! I'm so glad that you take the time to know the animals in your place and leave them to live there.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for filming that and sharing . Pure entertainment while rooting for Mama squirrel. She's very smart and a warrior. The last shove, almost falling made you hold your breath as she finally got him where she wanted him. Nothing stronger than a mother's love and instincts. 🐾💚
This is a truly amazing footage. What an insight into their world!
Wow! What a stubborn toddler-I bet she gave him an ear full once home! 😂 “you almost had us both killed today!”
Hahahahaha
More like dumb teenager in squirrel years
Definitely! Lolol.
What an inattentive stpd comment. The baby fell two floors down from the doves on hard terrain by the house foundations he must have felt it, maybe it knocked his wind for a bit, this is not leaves covered soft forest floor. That first fall in life must have left him frightened and very conscious of height. Human are so f g stpd.

I think many mothers can relate...Motherhood is the toughest job that will make you something better or leave you in pieces.
Alison Miller ummm what about fathers?
Toughest job my ass! sewer cleaners,oil rig extractors and various other jobs r more dangerous and tough.
+Sanyu Singh Mma let me guess your the type of person that thinks if its not happening to me im fine with it arnt you -_-
Even though I am a father I was thinking the same thing! lol Are these squirrels always single parent families and if so what do the males do while all this is going on? Hey ,,Iv'e got internet maybe??? I'll just look it up!,,,He stuck in his thumb, and pulled out a plum and said "What a good boy am I?"
Alison Miller or both on meltdown days
This is absolutely one of the most interesting & adorable videos of nature that I have seen! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for being so patient to film and share it. : )
That was an amazing video. I just raised and released a little boy squirrel , Greyfur , early in May. He is in our woods and for the first 3 months I was still his "mama". He matured and he traded me out for a girl squirrel. I have a trail cam set up and see him every day. He has a girl now, Goldie, and I think she has babies. I just love watching them. I was the first thing Greyfur saw when he opened his eyes the day after he fell out of his nest at our barn. I became quite attached to the little guy with the round the clock feedings and his antics in our bathroom. One thing I learned about little baby squirrels...they love to whittle down anything they can clamp their teeth on LOL. I am happy to hear that you made some safety adjustments to the little nesting area. Also, I didn't know that little baby squirrels were called kittens...Keep the videos coming.
Lee B I have a baby squirrel that fell out of the tree he looks to be about 5 to 6 weeks old. I talk to the trees have any suggestions on what I can give him for food possibly like a milk substance? please help
Lee B I'll talk to text really messed up my whole thing. I tried to bring him.back to the tree where I think he fell out of but he refused to go back. he came running back to me every time. I even tried running but he came right back. I tried to put him out there this morning, but he refused to go up the tree. I actually put him on the tree trunk. and he wouldn't stay.
This is the best choice for a milk replacer for a baby squirrel...
www.mcssl.com/store/17128612/milk-replacers
Until it arrives,, use warm milk mixed with one spoon of plain yogurt, through a syringe.
If you do not want to order from Fox Valley... use goats milk, if you can find it (Trader Joes', etc),
I loved the way she took her baby home and jumped a long way down and looked her baby in the hole, animals take better care if there babies, she is a very good mother.
yes, she is. Squirrels in general are persistent and have great problem solving skills in 3D space but as a mama she must be loved for her dedication.
lol!!! the part where he grabs her face because he's so afraid... little joker has a tight grip too!! lol i love it... too cute. 😍 Cheers to motherhood. 🍻 ahh what we won't do for our children...❤
That was funny. Just like a little kid, scared grab Mom!
and right at the last minute just about dropped him! lol ,, It was almost Laurel and Hardy ! hahaha
The Real Tish covering her face lmao
September 2017 update. Hannah moved out for the summer, as usual, and then came back by two weeks ago to move babies into the roof... But Hannah's daughter from 2015 had already claimed the nest, and has two babies in there. There was a lot of fussing between the two females, and then Hannah canceled the move-in.
Oh no! So where would Hannah go? Please build another nest for her.
It's part of the house.. the fascia along the edge.
Sounds like you have some more building to do! A Squirrel "Condo" in the works, maybe? :-) I'm thinking of building one next summer, so I can keep a better eye on them. Gets pretty cold up here in upstate New York,....don't ya know, so I'm thinking if I insulate it it well on the outside, I might try to have a small amount of my forced hot air heat get vented into the "Condo" :-) not a lot mind you, but on 15 degree F to below zero nights just enough to comfy it up a bit.
The 12-15 squirrels in my backyard already get spoiled rotten, with pecan halves, almonds, green delicious apple pieces, carrots, snap peas, green beans, green peppers, broccoli, and other assorted fruits and treats from time to time. 3-4 of the squirrels will take the pecans (especially) from my hand, and one will stay to stuff his mouth with a second pecan!
oh that ungrateful daughter.
mizzu M lol!! Kids for you! haha
Awesome video! I love that you created a home for them instead of kicking them out and the description of what was happening was super helpful!
You’re a wonderful man !!! Great job and hope god bless you for your kindness!!
Wow, that squirrel was strong. Able to lift and jump with another almost her own size. Crazy stuff, nice video.
Thank you for posting this story. It is heart warming to see the love of a mother caring for her babies. You captured how intelligent squirrels are and their amazing tenacity to survive. I love squirrels. Im raising 3 of them now rescued from a dog.
That's one hard working, loving, caring, responsible, intelligent momma. I bet the impulsive stubborn kid is a teenager!!
That was OFF THE CHARTS!! What an Experience you have given to us. Thank You for sharing, and the updates!! 😉 ✌

WHAT A WONDERFUL MOMMA SHE IS!❤❤🥰
I thoroughly enjoyed watching all the videos on this determined mother and her little rascal son. It was a lovely break from the hours of watching the news about the Las Vegas massacre. Today is October 3, 2017. Thank you, sir. God bless you. Stay safe and well.
that was an insane video! I can't believe she made that jump with such a huge and unhelpful baby! She's deserves a 'Best Mama Ever' award!
Very patient mama! You explained what was happening very well and can see you are an animal lover. Your chihuahua is in very good hands 💕
i hated that chihuahua jealous that the squirrels were getting all the attention and not him.
Amazing footage and the way you tell the story with subtitles is perfect.
I just noticed that I made almost the same comment seven months ago.
@@presto709 hahahaha. Been there.
Thank you for posting this video. I had no idea that momma squirrels were this caring for their offspring. Very touching to see her work so hard to save her baby. I know she must have been frustrated at some point (what mother hasn't been) when he latched on to four different branches. Then, she cuts away the branches. How clever is that? Awesome!
Hilarious, bloody kids, we've all been there.

The mom squirrels are VERY attentive. Watch this to the end ua-cam.com/video/YwXQEJuA_14/v-deo.html
Wow! This story has better script than most Hollywood so-called-blockbusters. There are three acts, there are character arcs...amazing. Thrilling and emotional.
Ok was rooting for Hannah the whole time. Poor thing. She had such a struggle.
She knows the dangers of hawks and other predators. What a good Mamma!
Incredible footage, should be on one of the Discovery networks. Thank you for sharing!
Totally agree. Incredible footage. Wow
I have never seen anything like this a Squirrels mother and her young - I am so touched by her love and care and patient. To all mothers, thank you.
I couldn't wait to show hubby this INCREDIBLE footage. We have several squirrels here in Florida that we watch every day at our bird feeder and have come to love them and their quirky personalities. Thank you for sharing.
And I thought child rearing was hard! Seriously, what a suspenseful and heart wrenching video! Amazing! Thank you for sharing it!
Amazing footage! Thanks for posting! Poor mom that's a big baby to have to carry around... big and stubborn especially when scared.🙂
Thank you, and God bless you all
Two things amaze me about this video. 1. How carefully you filmed this true drama. And 2. Only one snarky crack in the comments. What a lovely gift you have. Thank you
2:56
Me and my Mom, when she trys to get me to go to school
🤣🤣🤣🤣
hahaha
😄
Whew that gave me alot of anxiety watching this, I can’t imagine how the mom felt! lol Amazing how moma was so determined to get her back home. Love it!
Such a lovely video, thank you. I laughed until I cried. That Hannah certainly has patience!
Beautiful squirrels. Very dedicated mother, looking after her wayward baby.💕🐿💕
Вам удалось заснять очень трогательную сцену. Детеныш размером с маму, а она его тащить. Вот это сила материнской любви. Я прежде думал, что в таком возрасте белки становятся самостоятельными и мамы их забывают. Вам спасибо и удачи.
I enjoyed this so very much. Thank you for making this video. Squirrels get such a bad rap sometimes but I just love them. This was a wonderful capture of the spirit of a mother determined to rescue her baby. You have made my day.....
No ukuleles, no finger snaps, no godawful whistling. Thank you so much for this.
The selflessness and heroism, and muscular strength of those tiny animals are impressive.
Amazing...I hate when people say they have no "feelings" like humans...what was that then?? Excellent vid best thing I have seen in some time!!
Angel Bookman it's motherinstinct to save the life of their progeny
The do have feelings and they have more Love than the humans Gods creatures God is love
Every little child who ever had a dog or cat knows that all mammals have the same feelings but are just not capable of a complex language.
They don't have a human feeling.....they got Squirrel feelings
It’s humans who have no empathy.
ppl really need to pay closer attention to animals and they will realize they act more like humans than humans really think.
Many animals are also more "humane" than many humans, too.
Humans are just another animal you forget that, we act more like them.

That is the cutest video ever of a mothers love for her baby! And what she will do
Incredible video. Thanks for sharing it. Poor traumatised baby, having fallen several times but what a clever and determined mother. She did everything she could to get her baby back to the safe nest and I was exhausted, just watching her mighty effort.
Thank you, Lee. That was fascinating! Grateful for the updates, too. Ah, Motherhood!
Very dear mother💙
Oh my goodness, the patience, persistence, strength and caring of this mama!
yes, it's beautiful to watch.
This is hilarious in so many ways: How she hangs from her rear legs with baby in mouth. How the baby is shocked after it fell and refuses to go near a similar situation again (very human). How the mom finally cuts away the branches (LOL!). And the master squirrel skills of doing that long leap with such a heavy payload in her mouth! Amazing! I once saved a baby squirrel. It was one of the cutest things ever! A friend raised it. I saw the squirrel months later, and it IMMEDIATELY recognized me and jumped on me and climbed up my back! 😍
Wow what an incredible story. Thank you for the video and the update. I am so happy all wend well. At one point, when you wrote that baby refused to be carried, the baby was breathing very hard. Ma did so well and what an acrobat she is hanging on her claws holding her baby and then pulling herself up again defying gravity lol.
Wow... Squirrels are really freaking strong for their size. I can only imagine what a human sized squirrel would be capable of! Still, after reading the comments and your updates, it sounds like everything was just fine in the end and it was fantastic.
+BF. The next time you see a tree squirrel sitting in an upright position, take a good look at their upper thighs. Those thighs look fat but they are highly muscular.
Incredible to watch! Absolutely amazing rescue work from mama squirrel! And what tenacity... she is NOT giving up!
Squirrels most certainly can count. They are much, much smarter than we give them credit for.
I agree they are smart. In fact National Geographic rates them as more intelligent than cats. But... I have always seen them search for babies even when they found them all. Returning repeatedly to the container the babies were placed in checking to see if there are anymore. They also will take other squirrel's babies homes if they find one and have some at home.
Terrific job of recording this, and a very touching story. Great job!
thx man for spending your time on this vid and caring for the little critters.
Nice to see👍
Mom was having a hard day but handled it. Good job.
moms do extreme hard work for their babies. love for all mamas.
This rescue had my heart in my mouth...it made me sweat like a farm animal.
He got grounded after that! YOU NOT COMING OUT UNTIL U CAN CLIMB! :P
Carried a baby as heavy as you are and did such long jump, insane mother power!
Thanks for sharing. I have 2 baby squirrels myself, Found them at 3 weeks their almost 4 Month's. Amazing creatures
Very interesting. I had my first experience with helping out a squirrel family the other week where two babies fell a good 40'+ (?).
That's an amazing event you captured.
Kids. They start out walking on your toes and end up stomping on your heart!
Thank you for sharing. I can just hear that momma fussing at her son. BUT that was a scary jump for such a small guy. I still remember the first time I dove into a pool head first. The water was soooo far away, even on a SMALL diving board!!
Great video! What an adenture! I'm glad the baby wasn't hurt.
I feel like I just watched an episode of Nature!! Great camera work and subtitles! Thank you for sharing such a cool moment in nature. 💜💜💜
What an AWESOME Mama squirrel!! She stayed on task until she got her baby back home safely..
Hannah is a good mother. She keeps on finding a way to help her terrified baby. Baby has to overcome its fear by itself not to depend on its mother all the time. This is an animal behavior where a mother is ready to sacrifice her life for her baby's safety.
Wow, what an amazing video! I’ve never seen anything like it. You’re awesome to post these adorable little creatures in action. And thank you so much for your updates. Can’t wait to see more on your channel!
Awesome video. Thanks Dancing Llamma
Great video!!! The baby reminds me of my son. When he doesn’t want to do something, he will fight to the core! I love how she kept going and cut down the branches!!!
My heart was in my throat the whole time. Like acrobats but no safety net. So grateful for happy ending.
You got some great footage there. Thank you for sharing.
Nice job catching all that unfold, you should be a wildlife photographer.
Thank you for putting your dog inside, so many people think it’s funny when their dog chases wildlife and it’s cruel. This is a great video
This is amazing. Without your subtitles I wouldn't know what was going on but it all makes sense the way you explain it.
