- With its playful attitude, its shimmering coat, its tasselled ears and its plume-like tail, the red squirrel is easily recognisable. Yet, it remains relatively unknown. Throughout the seasons, we follow the daily life of a female squirrel as touching as ingenious.
As the leaves turn orange, the inhabitants of the woods prepare to face winter. Hopping from branch to branch, the intrepid rodent searches for provisions while dodging predators. Apart from her balancing skills, she is also a major protector of the forest. This film highlights the essential and unexpected role of this mammal in maintaining its ecosystem.

I can't help doffing my hat off to all the people who had been engaged in the production of Squirrels in the Ecosystem doc., esp. those photographers who had to spend for nights & days w/ an infinite patience so as to procure those brilliant & unmissable momentous footages one after another in impressive close-ups in the face of some adverse conditions. The rest of the team such as audio men w/ the effective background music, sagacious editors, a keen script writer, & a rather rare female efficient narrator also had done excellent job, but they were able to do so at the opulent comfort of the studio in their own country. That is the core difference from those cameramen. Nonetheless thanks to all concerned, I enjoyed, admired, & appreciated it to the full at the comfort of my residence,,,(10/26/23)
Clearly this comment was written by an earlier, crappier, version of the same AI that wrote and narrated the video itself.

Thank you very much for watching and for your comments on this film! Jean-Luc Guidoin
You have said it very very well.. You must be from a filming background.. Rarely do people appreciate what happens behind the scenes.
Thanks for your compliment. I'm much flattered, & nothing to do w/ a film business. English is not even my native tongue. You have a fabulous day wherever you are. Bye, Sayonara. (12/12/23)@@cinemamashinani3852
The nut in the water was a paid actor😂so glad she found out she could swim in the end! Nature is so beautiful!❤
It was a captivating documentary of just a squirrel and I have learnt so much that I was unaware of.. Salute to those who were engaged in this endeavor through all the seasons and the narrator for the clear unwavering narration.. I just loved the last 1 hour ❤️❤️

Had it not been for this singular doc., I'd not have had any knowledge about the red squirrel's role in the wild, i.e., its contribution to enhance the forest's ecosystem keeping it in balance. Thanks to it, I've gained new insight into the role of those squirrels in the woods. It's indeed not only educational but also informative. Infinitely grateful & gratified w/ it to the core. My heartfelt gratitude,,,,,(03/04/24)
thanks a lot for your interest! 🥹
@@SLICE_Wildit's true, how inspiring it is that someone is so dedicated to educating others on the beautiful nature around us. What an incredible world we live in that this type of high quality information is available for free for all to see. Thank you for sharing, bless you
This is one of the best things I've watched. It is just beautiful in how so many scientific concepts are woven together into one story accessible to an audience whatever their scientific understanding.
Thanks so much! 🤗
This is an exceptionally crafted documentary, and very educational. How marvelous nature is, almost like a symphony. And how mostly unseen by us hurried, people.

This is definitely one the best documentaries concerning nature I've seen on UA-cam. I really like the format, it's rather different to others. It is like this one successfully does what others tried to in presentation.

Beautiful! Thank you so much. I loved the music too.
Exceptional video!! Loved this ❤️
I'm enjoying this because I love squirrels, however the words in the narration are so advanced.
The woodpeckers are a very gentle bird from what I’ve noticed and graceful they don’t swoop in they flutter in have never seen them aggressive they don’t even mind the squirrels they simply wait their turn as do the rest of birds at feeders they work around the squirrels lol
A Wonderful Film, Thank You.
Oh my gosh, she got babies at the end! Awwww! That was such a cute docu! 🥰
you know a documentary is good when you get emotionally invested in a small creature you've never even met before
Beautiful documentary
That was really good What an awesome squirrel
I did Enjoy this! Red Squirrels are Brazen Critters : ) Cheers! from Canada
Wonderful doc. I throw carrot ends and bird seeds in the yard for these little friends. Help them in their journeys. 😀🙏
I buy nuts for mine and enjoy their acrobatic ways. When one really observes squirrels in action, one can't but be impressed with their talents. I never thought of carrots for squirrels - thanks for the tip.
Whoever decided that the script should be "the squirrels predators are legion" is a godamn genius.
That's the coolest thumbnail ever...
Un gran trabajo en mi opinión... El seguimiento de la ardilla me ha dejado estupefacto (es real?)... Muchas gracias...
@26:28 I wish we had hedgehogs here in America - they are adorable! What cute little creatures. ❤
I enjoyed this nature movie! Wonderful narrator and it calmed me down very well, thanks!
I really like it nice movie and i like the narrator also
Great Video! Love the narrator's voice! From Susan in Michigan USA ❤
Nature is a well honed interplay
Great documentary :)
Enjoyed this doco on squirrels love all wish we had some in aussie
Absolutely stunning documentary! I'm really happy to be able to watch it and learn about the life of wild animals. Thank you so much! Your work is extremely important for people🕊️☘️

Thanks for the documentary!
That was an interesting video thanks for sharing
That squirrel (our hero) could swim... Doing the "squirrel paddle" 😂❤
Wow! Is that English ivy in its native ecosystem?
Awesome work done. So beautiful documentary.
comparing 15:47 to 48:20 ... i love the bravery character development arc
Awsome!
Thank you for this lovely documentary! Just curious if eastern grey squirrels also serve any ecological functions like red squirrels?
high quality
Squirrels are planting hickory trees all around here but I have no idea where they`re getting them. I found one they buried nearby but I see the baby trees everywhere with no hickory trees in sight.
The acrobat and shinny silk red coat the amazing Squirrels. Who is sues who the intelligent Jay and intelligent red Squirrel. The ecosystem of life the Planet Earth.
Wonderful documentary. But we will pray Spring will never arrive. We expect snow in March and April this year.
Dang I'm craving nuts now!
It would be nice to know what country[s] the footage was taken from. I see the tufted red squirrel, but they are not in Illinois, USA, nor is the Elk, nor the particular Jay coloration, nor some of the other medium sized birds, nor the hedgehog ... and I never saw ice or snow that stayed in place. Are we looking at New Zealand?
You never saw ice or snow that stayed in place in Illinois? Rocket scientist.
@@profd65 My comment was oriented to what was in the video. In THAT location in the video ... they never showed any significant snowfall on the ground ... just a sampling here and there. But you knew that ... Do you also know sarcasm and cheap shots are a bad mental habit ... anger and viciousness management is necessary for healthy relationships. You won't begin to respect yourself until these things are under control.
Hello, thank you for your comment on the documentary. This film was shot over two years in various forests in central France. The red squirrel is a European species and is not present in the United States, where you have the "gray" squirrel, which is much more social and serves a different ecological function. In fact, the American gray squirrel is an introduced species in Europe, and today it poses a threat to the habitat of our red squirrel. As for the birds, the species also vary from one country to another. Jean-Luc Guidoin
@@Jean-LucGuidoin Thank you for the response. In our far Northern area of Illinois [Fox Lake almost borders Wisconsin] I do see grey squirrels but also the red and the black squirrel at times. The past few years however have only seen grey ... both in the trees and as road kill.
Oh no! I hate to read that, because I love our gray squirrels. I wish we could take them off your lands. Also, can you tell us who narrated this documentary? She does a great job. Being totally blind since birth, I love listening to documentaries, and this one is so thorough, and she's an exceptional narrator. Thank you so much.@@Jean-LucGuidoin
Wildlife is awesome! People suck. Yay nature!!
They’re very territorial it’s hilarious the birds they chase they’ll stand guard in one spot most of the day and they’re excellent jumpers
Where is this forest? What a wealth of wildlife there!❤
That’s a beautiful snail
30:45 have never seen that bird before wow
😎👌
I almost skipped this video because of the subject matter: squirrels. Back in Chicago, squirrels are fast becoming a pest, there are so many! So, let’s see if this video changes my mind. 😊
Fast becoming a pest!? I had one eat through the side of my home to nest in the electrical box when I was a little kid. I've seen 3 bike crashes caused by squirrels!
Now, do I want them heckling my cats? YES
@@CatharticCurios Yikes!
Same thing, grew up with them gnawing things and also just being a constant boring presence. Great video!
15:30 bruh that's modern day Scratch from Ice Age.
" WIND IN THE WILLOW"!! BUT WITH REAL ANIMALS!!😊😊
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
How do they do this type of footage?
I don’t know if it shows it here but red squirrels also love to peel the bark off trees there’s lots of nude trees around they work like little beavers it’s hilarious
Where is this forest?
lm mr.beest
Does anyone know who the narrator is? It sounds like Jennifer Garner.
"The nature is well designed" - one doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to understand that it requires THE DesignER!
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man-and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things. Romans 1
YA WELL MY BREAD IS NOT APART OF THE DAMN FOREST!!!! OR MY CHOCOLATE SYRUP!!!
Yeah hawks don’t have much of an advantage of catching food in forests too many trees in the way they usually keep to open spaces they’re always soaring through the air
I’m not sure why you say “not many squirrels survive the winter” unless they’ve been displaced, as people with no respect for wildlife will kick them out of their territory by caging and carrying them off or trap em if they’re too near their house. Red squirrels aren’t generally a bother they like to keep to the trees where they have plenty to do but they will build nests in rural buildings if they notice there’s little activity. If you want them to move further away just run your chainsaw for a day you’ll see them stuff their cheeks and move out no work required from you they’re very cooperative this way LOL
🙏💙✨️
Tossing nuts into a pond to tryn be the first to get footage of a squirrel swimming. AWSM!
I would argue the “they forget where they bury their nuts” comment there’s further reason for it likely.
Humans are the only creature on the planet that has zero ecological benefit. Every other creature is working towards making the ecology of the planet to be good and humans our only job is to disrupt and destroy.
I have tried to be optimistic and try to hunt for just one area where humans contribute to the betterment of all life forms and I can't find one.
Kudos to all other creatures like these ones making Earth a better place.. unlike us
I feel you but that's not true, we're a keystone species and have historically had a great impact on our ecosystems. There's a whole exploding field in it called TEK, traditional ecological knowledge, and a lot of beautiful accessible content to learn more. If you want I can plug some of my favorites below:)
Check out the Great Waves of Change, we'll need to change our ways and begin thinking and working on sustainability and mitigating the problems these changes are creating. Find a better way forward.
Speak for yourself, you poor pathetic self loather 🥺 You certainly aren't a force for good, lol. Edit: posted before finished writing comment 🤪
@@CatharticCuriosI have recently wached something about it. I espetially want to learn more about benefitial impect of humans on plant deversity. do you have any content on such topics?
Any therians here?
We come in peace 🖖👽
Squirrels are delicious
Delicious you mean to say that you eat squirrel 🐿️
@@pandurangparsekar4080 your reading comprehension is second to none.
Rats with fluffy tails!!!!
WHY DONT THEY HIDE THEIR NUTS IN THEIR TREES OR TREES
Forest?,:imigration Office for outspace kind(Humana) :)
Nature is so beautiful and mysterious but the real mystery is how + why evolution created a mess called humans.
😂 make sure theres enough forest that have enough foods for those squirrels 😂 most forest around the world are using for human wood industries 😂
Booty?
Ikr
Loot man :)
"Nature is well designed" all these detail and system and still she is talking about evolution 🤦
Continuity seems off…
Poorly made clip about a "surprising role of squirrels in the ecosystem". Trees doesn't need them, those dose.
This is so artistically made. Who did this it’s awesome. bravo!!
Hello ! Thanks you for your post! it's directed by Jean-Luc Guidoin and this is a ZED Production, an independent producer of French documentary film 😊
Where is this forest?
In France !
