Questions and Answers About Squirrels in Fall

Why do squirrels collect so many acorns during autumn?
Squirrels gather nuts in the fall to build up a food supply for the winter months when food becomes scarce. Storing acorns in different underground spots ensures they have enough energy to survive cold weather.
How do squirrels find the nuts they buried under fallen leaves?
Squirrels use a strong sense of smell alongside spatial memory to locate their hidden food caches, even under layers of snow or leaves.
