History:

Squirrels can often be seen scampering around and digging up holes throughout forests. This behavior is what’s known as “scatter-hoarding,” in which squirrels will store various meals in temporary caches around their habitat. Sometimes, the gray squirrel won’t come back to a hoard of food for several months, and it’s estimated they make over a thousand caches each season. Talk about having a good memory!
