I made friends with a wild squirrel!???

- This little squirrel followed me out of the woods and has hung out with me every day since then! #shorts
She is quite young, roughly 12 weeks old, which is right around the age where she should be leaving the nest. Even at this age, I wonder if the reason she was so eager for human interaction was because something happened to her mom and siblings. It's also possible that she's simply a super chill squirrel. I live in a pretty remote location, so she isn't a released pet or a park squirrel.
I should point out that she's not captive. She chooses to stick around, and I hope she continues to do so. The crazy thing is that she was easier to befriend than some cats I've had over the years, and I know how to befriend a kitty!! #shorts

We’ve gone from mad scientist to Disney princess.

🤣🤣🤣
@@MoonchildDontCry Mad Disney Scientist sounds pretty cool right ?

Probably got the “be afraid of humans” part of her brain fried by some 8 gagillion watt laser he fired into the woods.
Too true
Gagillion 💀
This made me laugh so much
That’s the best comment I’ve seen ever in life.
this comment deserves more likes 😭🤣
She probably was raised in a rehabilitation place around humans and released back into the wild
It's also possible they ran into it as a baby. Young squirrels imprint on humans pretty regularly, actually.
Makes sense.. this was my first question.. how did the squirrel get socialized to being with humans??
No, she's too young to have been released. She's just a wild baby squirrel.
@@slappy8941 she’s young but not a baby. It’s also not common for an animal to be so ok with humans but it’s possible
This is exactly what we try to avoid in wildlife rehab so if so they’d did a shitty job. Animals shouldn’t be this trusting of people
She’s so young! What a sweetie.
“Pretty cute, right?”
I sense a disturbance in the force
You were supposed to destroy them not join them
No he appears to be an animal lover judging by the fact that he among other things breeds Luna moths which is not a common thing for humans to do
@@the_undead shut we dont need approval from the sith
@@creepypastor007 if you want me to be perfectly honest with you making jokes about just killing animals for fun is not okay.

@GLOW SQID Noooooooooo she's too cute to be a lab rat lol
@GLOW SQID tf why do you think that ???
Very cute. 🥰
@GLOW SQID 💀💀
@GLOW SQID he is a mad scientist. He is not a psychopath. He is, on the other hand, a pyromaniac.
The circular tail wag was so freaking cute 😄😘
We have 3 squirrels who befriended our family. Started with one but soon another showed up and then a third. Word got out that we have an all-you-can-eat buffet and the price is right. We love these little critters 🐿❤️🐿❤️🐿
This sounds like me first one now I have 5 😂 comes everyday for nuts and fruit. They live in my tree in the front yard.

does it have a name? If so, what is it?
This is great!
Love the "Pretty cute right!"
EDIT: OMG! HOW MANY LIKES DO I HAVE??
@@gisellestephanieaudrienna6276 Yes, i also want to know this!
I had fostered an injured squirrel, unfortunately it didn't survive it's injuries. But in doing tons of research, they are incredibly easy to domesticate if interacted with at an early age. So easy in fact that during the instructions I found, you are to only make contact with them while feeding them, and you're supposed to ween them as soon as possible to avoid attachment. Even in doing this though, it often doesn't work, they become attached, and end up doing exactly what your squirrel ends up doing.
"Squirrel 1 has self-tamed and joined the colony"
Cultured
Nice to see a Rim World reference in the wild
I’ve been playing rimworld a bunch recently lmao
Squirrel one has lost it's left eye to a berserk Capybara
"Human 3 has received 'Dysentery' from Squirrel 1"
I raised a baby squirrel named Binx, he passed away after 6 months due to an accident. Love these little guys and they will have a forever bond on your soul!
I'm glad that the little animal found good people. Usually gullible animals end badly.
And this, my friends, is how Sandy Cheeks learned to love science.
Yes, just yes
The best backstory
I accept this backstory XD
Wait how did she hitch hike to Texas?
I’m gonna just accept this as canon
This is giving me "cats domesticated themselves" energy
They domesticated those early agricultural humans...
I rehabilitated a squirrel that got hit by a car one time. I don’t know how it survived but it did. It was barely alive when I got it. Unfortunately it never regained his vision. These little guys are so adorable. I gave my blind squirrel to someone who could give it the attention he deserved. She brought them around to classrooms to teach children. I guess teach them basically be nice to squirrels LOL. I remember the poor thing would get so nervous unless you just rested your hand on his back. Since he couldn’t see he never knew where you were but if you put your hand on his back he was completely OK
I've never seen a squirrel that friendly. Adorable
She's a human from year 1700
No one gonna talk about how he looks exactly like a younger version of Willem Dafoe, he could be Willem Dafriend rn for as long as I’m concerned 💀
@@caeruleumluna9630Willem Dabro
The fluffy tail going around in circles when’s she was on the tree was the cutest EVER!!
🗣️THROW DAT ASS IN A CIRCLE! 🔥🔥🔥
Seriously adorable
When a dog's tail does circles like that it means they are the most happiest at that moment. I wonder if it is the same for squirrels.
@amberthatcher2868 after a quick Google search, a squirrel flicking their tail is an alarm signal to say "imma dip if you come closer". Not much I could find regarding flicking in circles specifically though.
@@amberthatcher2868clearly….
Between this and the tornados I’m convinced you’re one of the luckiest people alive
Tornados? I missed this one.
What do you mean?
@@kozmo7 he has posted shorts of him chasing tornadoes basically, well actually I don’t remember where I saw but yea he has a thing for tornadoes too
@@NingaShark
Ahhhhhh thank you that makes a lot more sense!
Not luck, off screen science!!!!
@@kozmo7 hes escaped the path of several tornadoes and even went into one on video
You have a good soul ! Animals know that !
That tail wag is AWESOME!
I like how he adapts “pretty cool right” to fit the current mood of the situation
pretty cool right?
Pretty cute right?
It's a pest right? Just break it's neck. You will get more views that way.
I can't imagine how good this must feel when a wild animals gives you his trust
Do you really think a wild squirrel walked up to him? Its his pet. Use your brain
Can get unlimited of food,why reject the offer!
I got 2 that eat from my hand at the park. It just takes patience
@@robopainter5628 if youre in a place where theyre used to people, then maybe. But I've never seen a single squirrel that doesnt dart away every time it sees or hears anything
I love ❤️ all critters , a couple of squirrels 🐿 came to my backyard !!
Si i started feeding them : 🍎, 🥜, hazelnuts , fruits & peanut butter . One day I put out the food . And to my surprise there where , at least 8- of them !
So now they buy three 20- pound bags of bird 🐦 food at Costco . And also bought bird feeders to feed birds , but unfortunately the squirrels 🐿 are so smart . That they would tilt & empty the feeders & they would end up eating it all . Because squirrels 🐿 have to eat at least one pound per day, because they very smart . So now I out the food all around my garden so they can all eat . So for all of you animal lovers ❤, please if you can feed the animals. !
Because it’s getting harder for them to find food , due to global 🌎warming unfortunately !!!
The 20 pound bag of bird 🐦 food it’s only $10.00 plus tax at Costco,
one more suggestion , don’t forget the hummingbirds they too need help . So you can buy the nectar feeders at your local hardware store ,& you can make your own nectar . It’s way you can find recipes on You Tube & please, please 🙏🏿if you ever see a critter in distress or needs help . Help them it doesn’t cost any money 💴 to be kind to animals or humans !
Hello human kindness. .
❤️🙏🏿🦋🐿🐦👏🦊🪲🐝🐞
Thanks for opening your home to her.
That's beautiful 💕 she's so happy 😊
This man has two types of shorts "This is a thermonuclear bomb" and "I found a cool butterfly"
Lol
You don’t have any idea how jealous I am. Living one of my dreams
Smart baby she knows a good thing when she saw you guy’s… great food and love….God bless you…😊❤❤❤
That tornado 🌪️ tail is wicked cute😂
"Preety cute right?"
The squirrel- Proceeds to become a bird*
squirrel: i have become the the only thing i swore to destroy
I particularly like the heavy exhale of frustration, after she jumped on him. 😂
"I want to be a singer"
**"Starts dancing"**
This is amazing to make friends with such a small animal , as it's about winning their trust.
Just be careful they don't have rabies! It's rare for squirrels to have it but it still happens and it can't be cured
Animals aren’t humans, we shouldn’t have their trust, it is literally harmful for animals to have such frequent interactions with humans. The can start believing they are a human which can make them unreleasable.
Ironically that’s probably what happened here except this squirrel is already bonded with humans but they released it into the wild to die anyways because they were sick of it or something.
@@officaldungeonsno one should trust you either
jk jk jk i see your point
What a BLESSING! Your BOTH adorable! ❤
Bro really just said you're my friend now 🤣💀
She’s absolutely adorable! You and your Dad are awesome. ♥️

That’s so cute. What a smart little squirrel.
Look at that twirly tail action! I've never seen a squirrel do that before with their tail. 🐿
Love it.
I've got a pigeon at work. I can't pet it, but it trusts me enough to lay down at my feet when I'm at brake & lunch. Then I give it some treats.
Pigeons are actually domestic animals, that's why they hang out with humans.
Some birds just don't like being touched. I've had 2 birds for a year, and since they've bonded with each other they won't let me pet them (they still groom and play though)
@@zacharyyoungblood7013 I have 3 chickens. 1 likes her back scratch, the other 2 don't like being touched.
@@esotericbear9829 Birds do be like that
Pigeons remeber faces right?
"Pretty cute right?" **gets attacked**
She is adorable. Thank you for being so kind to her. 🙂👍♥️
Squirrels are very smart animals
Very interesting behavior, self domestication.
They're getting smarter. "I go to hooman, and let him pet me. Hooman give me food and home"
Rabbies usually
You know there was a Disney princess joke in there somewhere you know
There's a theory that cats domesticated themselves too
@@BengNinja rabies not usually actually highly unlikely

I can do the same..

Squirrels make good little friends, perhaps pets too?😊
I had a friend that had a pet squirrel. They found it as a baby and raised it. They made sure that it was abandoned before they messed with it.
I love that u made her a little box....keep feeding her ..she's a sweetheart 😘
He's so adorable. Congrats on making
friends with him. 🙂
“She.”
@@coreylucas5346 they're congratulating the squirrel
*Her*
@@coreylucas5346 don't misgender the squirrel.
I am so jealous!!! When I was in college, we had a squirrel that lived in our garage. He would even follow us around in the yard like a dog. And occasionally, he'd slip into the laundry room and hangout in there. Loved peanuts and apple wedges. We loved him. Enjoy your unique pet while you can.
The “propeller tail” is a “get away from me” warning in squirrel language, and was most likely directed at a bird or squirrel that landed on “her” tree. She is so cute, I wish I could kiss the top of her little head. ❤❤❤❤
So nice to see you out of the and making new friends.
Nature is keeping this man from becoming a supervillain. Thank you nature.
Yeah until the squirrels tragic death that gives him the reason to hate all society and humans and then he full on supervillain
In Australia we don't have squirrels but we do have possums, approx 4-6 times larger, where I live maybe more as I personally haven't been very close to one, my friend has a possum and a cockatoo that regularly visit/have partially moved in to her apartment. The Cockatoo comes out to visit up to 20 times a day if he didn't sleep in a repurposed bird cage ( one entire side is open but covered by a blanket with a small section cut in to strips so he can just walk through) we made in to a home for him. If he did stay the night then he'll stay there for the whole day and only leave for 20 -30 mins once or twice.
The possum is a bit more independent, and although he is a big fan of the hiddy hole we made for him and all the food he could ever want (we only feed them either appropriate pet food or their regular diet). He is happier to be out and about and then once in a while come back for a visit.
Some people are just more accepted by nature than others, I honestly can't help but to feel jealous of being able to just stumble upon something like that and the animal sticks around/reacts positively. But it does make me happy that there are people like you and my friend who, not only care for animals very dearly but are able to quickly form trust or a feeling of security or what have you and also have the means to provide for them.
I really appreciate everything that you do. I am actually getting back in to learning about and having fun with electronics, and I'm going to be looking in to some formal training and education. And that's because of you I can feel the spark reignite, and after a long and tough road lasting nearly 15 years. I can finally say that at 28 I want to change and to actually make something of myself in the field of electronics, and I'm only wanting a job, not to change the face of electronics or anything else that ridiculous. In the grand scheme of things it's not that far of a reach, and I couldn't even begin to think about that let alone believe it as little as 3 months ago.
So from the bottom of my heart, Thank You I really do appreciate it
I've always been one of those too. I think body language plays the biggest role. I make furry/feathery friends pretty much wherever I go. Foxes, racoons, rabbits, feral cats, finches, blackbirds, ravens, pigeons, probably more I'm forgetting.
I've also had brief encounters with bears, cougars, and wolves which could've gone badly, but they just left me alone and let me cautiously leave.
When I was younger I used to think there was some kind of spiritual aspect to it, especially because my family was Catholic. I've saved and rehabbed injured animals ever since I was a kid, so I guess I thought they could know that on some level. I think it's really just coincidence these days, but an interesting one.
I don’t like going to zoos or animal sanctuaries because big cats and especially wolves seem to find my presence unpleasant. Normal dogs also tend to growl or bark at me and always run away unless their owner’s acclimatize them to me. I’ve even had a police dog sent after me, (a fire alarm in my friend’s small apartment building was going off and the police assumed it was a burglary alarm and when I ignored them they sent a dog after me. I didn’t hear them because the bel was right by the front door, but when I saw the 60ish pound German Shepard coming at me I picked it up so it wouldn’t hurt anyone because it was growling and barking like crazy.)
She's beautiful and I'd love having a squirrel friend. It's very heartwarming that she chose you to be her friend.
That jump in the end is so cute!
I recently started trying to make friends friends with the squirrels in my backyard one of the three knocked on my glass door yesterday so we gave him food and named him Dave
Fed him and called him Dave. This children is why it's so important to understand that Disney movies are only make believe. The next time David came inside the house and we didn't have anything to feed him, he bit me and gave me rabies.

You are so lucky! Adorable sweet gal . Happy place for her
THE TAIL WAG, OMG!!!! ❤💖❤🥺💖❤🥺💖❤🥺💖
Squirrels wag their tails to communicate that they sense danger in the area. It doesn’t mean the same thing as when a dog does it. The squirrel is super cute though!
I've been trying to befriend a squirrel that lives in my tree. He's awesome, his name is Rusty
The squirrel’s mama tell you that?
Unfortunately she a victim of the fentanyl epidemic. So to answer your question, no. I gave him the name, I felt it fit him well.
How the squirrel is a victim of fentanyl ?
This is a blessing from a higher power. They are wonderful creatures and live 18 years!
Animals can sense good hearts!
Awwwwwww 🥰
Wait what
I had a feral kitten do this. She was wild one minute and totally tame the next! I've had her for years, luckily! She has a great personality. I imagine your little friend was missing her family. Good for you!
That’s a very smart squirrel right there
Very cute.
But when Styropyro says that this is the craziest thing to ever happen to him, I cannot help but think of the quote, "You sit upon a throne of lies!"
That’s so cute!!!!!

There is actually a phenomenom, where baby squirrels follow humans, as a surviving instinct. When they are in need of care
The “pretty cute, riiighht?” At the end was kinda spooky😂
Did you see his face at the beginning?

Squirrels are underrated
fairly convinced that this guy inadvertently got the soul of a gnome instead of a human
That’s so awesome!! I’m really glad she found you!
That is so sweet! We used to have a squirrel friend we named Blondie due to her rare coloring and she would take food gently out of our hand and she made her way into the hearts of our entire neighborhood. She would come around for years and we always gave her a buffet of nuts to choose from. Sadly she somehow got an abscess on her face (probably an infected tooth) and she died from it about a year ago and stopped coming around. We miss feeding her daily and guarding her from the bully squirrels who would chase her away. She was such a sweetheart
Lol, that was Hitler's dog's name!
@@mysteriousjungalist I didn’t know that. My mom named the squirrel Blondie and like I said earlier, we named her Blondie because of her rare coloring
@@mysteriousjungalist Why bring that awful thought up? when this women is probably grieving for her squirrel friend?
This means that she is looking for help, but since you became your mother, she's there to stay!
I've raised several. Coolest, sweetest, craziest little guys. You're very lucky, take care of her.

I hope you know that's not true
@@snowfoxl0v0l lmao, why isn't it true ?
@@Lssjg702 there is no force field around people that only animals can see. If you give them food and take care of them they will see you as a ally.
Thats true god blesse you friend
@@snowfoxl0v0l yes it is true.... people can too. . I'm not talking about conditioning through food. I'm talking about first time encounters. They can also read your body language. There is communication without words and people do it to. Just because your not intelligent enough to know and realize this; don't say it is impossible..... what makes you think you know what is possible or not? Dumb people always have their delusion of intelligence.
That is legitimately the most adorable thing I've seen in a long time
Precious and adorable.
You sir, are the pinnacle of humanity. A paragon walks among us!
So cute. I envy people that has this type of interactions
that have and not has
Just start by leaving food for them. I leave roasted/unsalted peanuts (in the shell) for them and if I see them across the street, I will make a clicking noise and they will run over to me.
So I've looked at it a bunch of your videos and they're great.
I just happened to look through the shorts and seeing you doing the video on something entirely different. I commend you for showing people a gentle way to interact with nature. Thank you.
