One thing in nature that really fascinates me are squirrels. I have always wondered just how many acorns they remember to dig up after winter. My roommate and I tend to have a lot of conversations on them. For instance I wonder how hard it is for them to climb up trees or how much fun it would be just to hang around all day looking for nuts. Their whole life seems like a game, first it’s a game for who can gather up the most nuts and acorns then it’s a finding game to see if you can find them all again. Their life is so easy and I feel like I could be a rather good squirrel. If I could be a squirrel id want to be a flying squirrel, it would be so much fun to “fly” from tree to tree. Another thing in nature that fascinates me are hummingbirds. They move their wings so fast that doesn that require a crap ton of energy which means a crap ton of food? Is it energy efficient for them to gather the nectar from flowers with their super human flaps. Finally the last thing that fascinate me are side-winder snakes. They move so awesomely. I cant even get my head around it. Do they get headaches or dizzy from the way they move? Or are they immune from the dizzifying (yes I did just make up that word) effects? They world may never know.
I've never looked at squirrels in such a light. Honestly though, I prefer chipmunks. Squirrels always stare at me and it's kind of weird.
ReplyDeleteChipmunks are way cuter. After Alvin and the Chipmunks came out I wanted one as a pet.
