Summary: Squirrels are a wonderful example of nature adapting to fast-paced urban life. Getting inside their heads to figure out what makes them tick is no easy task, but Joel Brown from the University of Illinois at Chicago has designed some creative experiments to do just that. He takes advantage of their passion for nuts and seeds to reveal their inner "landscape of fear" and gives us a tour of a typical backyard from a squirrel’s perspective. Perhaps Joel Brown gets some of his squirrel insider information from watching Rowdy, a squirrel who was “a rehabilitation failure” that he now keeps as a pet. Whatever it is, he’s inspired hundreds to become citizen squirrel scientists who are building a detailed picture of North America's squirrels.
