Can grey squirrels count!?

Each evening I put out chestnuts for the local squirrel. The bowel can hold 8 mixed size chestnuts. Each morning I noticed that only a small number were taken. I decided to put out 7, in the morning 3 were left. The next morning I put out 6, it left 2. For the last week I have put out 5, it always leaves one taking only 4. This raises the questions; why does this squirrel only take 4 chestnuts? can this squirrel count? It takes them away one at a time. Maybe he can carry 2. Bury one, eat one. Bury one, eat one. Then he's no longer hungry. -- spud_demon -at- thundermaker.net The above may not (yet) represent the opinions of my employer. |
