What a lovely angle - it really shows how long and flexible their fingers are. But how come it doesn't make them sick eating upside down?

There's a thought Louise, it's a good job it doesn't make them sick otherwise I would have to wear my wellies each time I went out in the garden, It amazes me how much peanuts they can actually devour

I think the store the food inpouches. in their cheeks and takre it back to their young but i'm not sure. I have seen fat chopped squirrels, so I have emagined them to have pouches full of food

Just checked squirrels don't have cheek pouches

... maybe not Chocky, but it's amazing how much you can stuff in your mouth when you want to ... or so I've been led to believe - I wouldn't know....

Yes. But I was reading that squirrels have adapted to eating upside down.
