Squirrel Meets Rat!

- Wild Gray Squirrel and Cotton Rat meet for the first time nose-to-nose in the deep forest! We all know squirrels and rats are from the same Rodent order - I suspect Squirrels would be insulted if they knew this or that we call them "Tree Rats" sarcastically or affectionately sometimes.

Fun fact: There are NO Squirrels in Hawaii! This Samoan dude i met over there said that the first time he went to the Mainland ...he actually SCREAMED the first time he saw a Squirrel! LOL
The way they both got scared when they saw each other. The squirrel thought it was another squirrel till it noticed the tale
The tale of what?
@@mongoose9851 the tale of tails
@@headitchies 😂
Squirrel meets rat and thinks; "Thats a funny looking squirrel, and why is his tail bald?"
Erin gemini hahah u make me laugh
Why do you live in holes in the ground? Living up in trees is so much cooler!
Rat says: "Chemo."
And the Rat is wondering why ? tf does that other Rat have all that fuzzy chit coming outta it's ass lmao🤣🤣
That's sweet. No fighting, just sharing.
They way they eats it is too cute❤️
Squirrel says dude where's your fuzzy tail,lol
Sylvia Kovessy , no he is saying, are you my brother from another daddy.
Our rat cage is next to the French glass windows. There's a shelf on the outside. The squirrels get on the shelf to watch the rats and the rats eat up the curtains to watch the squirrels 😄🐁🐿
Mouse: who are you!?
Squirrel: im you but stronger.
Rat, not mouse. Mice are much, much smaller.
and stupider. a squirrel may decide a mouse is good for dinner. With a rat, both can be dangerous to the other so they are both much more likely to be a bit more careful, unless there is a much bigger size difference.
@@glenbe4026 Actually rats and MICE are some the smartest rodents.
@@madheretic4423 I have had both Rats and Mice, (and Cats, Dogs, Ducks, Chickens, a Goat, and even a semi-tame possum that climbs into my window each night to beg for food). Mice are by far the least intelligent pet I have had (other than fish, but I do not really see fish as pets, more living ornaments). Mice are nowhere near the intelligence of Rats. Rats are fantastic pets, smart, personable, affectionate varied in personalities (second favourite pet after dogs). Mice are much more slaves to their instincts.
Sq is like wat ever
Wow, you can even tell they're from the same family.
I love squirrels so much..... They're so tremendously awesome!! and lovely!!!
Squirrel bro reacted very similar to me when a dude asking for gas money creeps up on me as I'm getting into my car at Walmart.
I say no because I've seen said dude a few times before telling the same lines. Nine times out of 10 he asks me if I have a cigarette.
I'd like to get me one of those cars that runs on cigarettes. Oh wait!!! There's a few donkey states that don't have environmental standards on vehicles. At least I know where to get the look.
@@ginny7709 LMAO--relatable 😂😂😂
The squirrel was like "Oh shit, the bald tail squirrel stinks!"
The squirrel seems much more relaxed than the rat.
Like two cousins meet together
In our yard, squirrels, rats, chipmunks, and doves all peacefully snack on seeds under the feeders
It is just a byproduct of feeding other wildlife. You can't NOT feed them...
Awww so cute!!!
0:39 the moment you realise that it's an imposter
The description is incorrect. Squirrels and rats are actually not in the same rodent family. They are in different rodent families. While they are both in the Order Rodentia, rats are in the family Muridae and squirrels are in the family Sciuridae.
Love the user name - but seriously I did change the description to order. I was using the term "family" in the casual sense like extended family or relative.
Thanks
both families have “uridae” in it
@@unknownsanity5105
Which is meaningless.
My brain hurt
But they are still rodents regardless of your personal opinion.
I get rats in my garden because of my fat ball, nut and seed feeders. I can hear them squeaking in the undergrowth when I’m topping stuff up, they mostly come at night....mostly 🐭
Lol, did you just sneak in an "Aliens" quote?
Get yourself A good rat sniper co2 air rifle like the crossman 2250xl👌👌powerful short range accurate rat sniper air rifle👌👌& super field RWS pellets are def very accurate rat killing pellets👌👌best of luck👌👌
."Why Don't You Put Her In Charge"!?!
Rats are AMAZING❤️🐀❤️
I have fancy rats in my home as pets. I absolutely ADORE the Hairless ratties too! They are VERY intelligent...quite close to having a dog, and mine are litter trained too, just as a cat( just to add...they also are very CLEAN.....cleaning and grooming themselves 10 x more than a house cat).
They love human attention and interaction with me...each one knows their name, they come when called, and they have distinct, remarkable personalities. They don't bite....they cuddle, and you can even tickle them and they laugh! Truly, they have received such a bad reputation from humans that simply do not like them out of fear, and others who lack basic knowledge regarding these BEAUTIFUL little beings. Squirrels are just a rat with a bushy tail to me ❤️
nordicbeauty373 I have a rat too. She is a Dumbo rat. I hate when people say rats are gross. Someone even told me I should return her back where I got her because they hate rats and never wanted to see her again. I got so sad and was speechless that someone would be so rude about my choices of pets.
Rats are fantastic pets. I am a dog person, but got pet rats because I could not have a dog where I live. They are my favourite pet after a dog. The only drawbacks are a) their lifespan and b) their destructiveness in regards to cables and furniture. Their personalities are as big as dogs. They each like and dislike different foods. Some will come when called, others will know their name but ignore you unless they are hungry lol. Some are smarter (usually the girls), some are dumber. Some are bullies, some are sooks. Some are thieves, some are beggers. They are very much like dogs.
Pixy's Life I know this is a late reply, but does your Rattie have a companion? Rats require at least one other cage mate. I’m sorry to seem like a know it all if you already knew this, I just always think of this when I come across comments on rat videos about one rat. :)
Depends on the rat, laboratory rats are clean and also barn rats, buy not regular city rats, get your facts straight.
Disgousting, all rats should be killed, ugh🤢🤮🤮
Adorable. There's love there.
Cousins meeting for the first time -- Awesome !!
:02 They're both like "Eeeek, a rodent!"
😂😂
Squirrel: Wow! You stinks!
their so cute
Tree cutie vs ground cutie ☺️
Squirrel: ahhhhhh a rodent.
Squirrel jumping as it smelled something putrid 😂😂😂🤭
Tree rats meets ground rat.
At first the squirrel was like what the fuck is that😂
Hispid Cotton Rat (Sigmodon hispidus). They have an S-shaped molar when looked at closely from the top
They seem to not mind each others presence. ;-)
The rat (or vole) is not much smaller than the squirrel. There is also plenty of food. Both contribute to them not being antagonistic/fearful of the other.
0:03 the squirrel jump.
Really funny and gorgeous!
As long as there plenty of food, they are fine. I seen a rat feeding with a rabbit side by side with no problem.
Beautiful video. They get along
It’s Pinky n the Brain , when they 1st met
Wild Pachirisu meets a wild Pikachu
Adorable and funny 😅😅😅
Squirrel: " What do you mean I am a rodent ! "
Rat : " We both are, so there " !
Squirrel : " You are weird "!
Squirrels. Will sometimes eat a small rat or a mouse when food is scarce....small birds also. 😳
That rat is lucky it didn't get eaten by the squirrel.
Even though I criticize you sometimes, I do very much love your videos… ❤❤❤ thank you
I appreciate that! BB
0:37 "Well hello, ugly cousin" 😄
I think wild rats are adorable...
Ariel Christiansen unless your in new York
New York's rat are not wild. Most of the rat that live in city/houses are black. Those of wild are mix with brown, black, and white.
Oh goodness...
I love it! LOL Great capture! And thanks for the slow mo retake. 👍
Nice to see this...I love both of them. Thank you.
Rats off to ya!
Amusing slow motion with added sound effects. Hilarious.
Tree rat meets land rat 😅😅😅
So cute
Sewer Rat vs Tree Rat 🐭🐀🐀
Great video I always heard that squirrels kill rats.maybe so.
great video! you have some seriously tame animals in your neighborhood!!! my Syrian hamsters are not nearly as easy going as your squirrels!
Syrian hamster??? Sounded like an ancient hamster 😃😃
Awww how adorable!!!
I say to my rats "your all bright eyed and..... What happened to your bushy tail....!??!!!?"
Rodent friends! : )

The Rats of Nimh
That reaction tho
Squirrels! : )
Wow
Just by appearance, they share a common ancestry, one lives in the trees and the other in the sewers
Brother from another mother.
I hate popups that block the ending of videos...especially those like this one where you have to wait till the end to get the reaction.
I agree. The important bit wasn't even shown anywhere at the normal speed. At 40 seconds, it was slowed down which makes this a waste of a video. I clicked the 'dislike' button for this reason.
Technically not a rat like what we’re used to seeing as pests and pets. No relation other than they’re mouse-like rodents.
I have a feeling that squirrel still part of the rat family,
Squirrel 🐿 is like whatever dude
❤Rats &Squirrels
I have 2 pet rats. They're my life. I wish I could have a pet squirrel too :(
Just friend your local squirrels. I was out in my yard with four of them today throwing peanut splits to them. Then we went on our way....and I'll see them tomorrow again.
Super!!! Thanks!!!!^)
Great
Great video. I like it!
So cute 👍👍😊😊❤❤
squirrel = rat on super hero serum
A high vibrational person meets a low vibrational person
amazing! great video
Apparently dried corn is really bad for rats
Corn is bad for everyone.
The cousins.
How the hell are squirrels and rats not in the same family? They look alike and eat the same way too, they aren't even distant cousins or something? LOL!
They're in the same Order, not in the same family.
The description is misleading. While it's true squirrels and rats are both in the ORDER Rodentia, they are not in the same family. The Order Rodentia is comprised of many families. Squirrels are in one, and rats are in another one. Not the same rodent family, but different rodent families.
0:00 - 0:03 I thought for a second it was a skit XD I subbed
'
are both normal friend or not
Kissing cousins?
What are you feeding them? I see some corn but what's the other stuff.
So who growled at who twice?
0:39 oh my gosh that made me jump
COUSIN
Vole not a rat!!
Didn’t seem to like the rat 🐀 .
Does anyone know chinese zodiac
MyBackyardBirding Do you find that putting out seed for the birds and the squirrels draws rats and mice into your yard, to where it presents a problem for your patio and house? Whether by them adopting your turf to build nests in, as in infestation, or to where they present a problem by bringing ticks and fleas or other parasites?? Is it ill-advised to put out seed (for birds and squirrels) on a full-height table in the yard, when one has a healthy dog that we want to keep that way > healthy without parasites? The dog would not present any risk to the squirrels or birds that might come to eat the seed, as the table is tall while the dog is not. But I do want to keep the dog well, and I don't want to draw ticks, fleas or illness, or infestation by rodents, seeing it's a small yard. The table is in the yard, not on the patio. Please share your best wisdom, Thanks.
Two things come to mind - one is it is usually excess food that lays around or falls on the ground and collects that draws rodents - mostly at night - and two is a lot of debris and brush or other hiding places around and next to the house to harbor them. If they find a steady food source they will try and move in closer if safe havens can be found. So I keep things clean around the perimeter of the house and put about enough food out each day on a platform feeder or like you propose on a table that is sure to be eaten by the birds - don't overfeed. For a longer days supply of food I used a hanging feeder in the tree and a tube feeder on a pole farther from the house that squirrels and other rodents cant get to. You will still get food falling underneath these feeders but other birds usually get it during the day. Go ahead and feed the birds and enjoy !
BB
I should add that this rat video was taken in the woods way behind the house - not in the yard!
Thank you for your good replies. I just picked up a second-hand, large ( I'm assuming food-grade > it's manufactured, not hand-painted/pretty and glazed) ceramic platter about 2" deep at most to put on the table as well, with water (about an inch and a half deep) for a bird-bath and drinking. I picked up the 2 kinds of seed that you use, and put them (not too much) into a Pyrex pie-baking dish. As pie-pans have, it has an inclined side, my idea being (probably futile) to keep the seed in one place. The dog is mostly not in the yard, and having lived here for over a year, the squirrels and birds are well aware that a dog lives here, so they're informed. I was going to put out a third dish for just drinking water, but I'm supposing that isn't necessary, that the "bird-bath" is sufficient, as it's the size of a tray. It's close to the hose, so easy to rinse and refill. I've seen at least one squirrel around here, and mature trees filled with birds within sight of my yard, so this should be fun. I used to bird-watch as a child, but you know how we lose sight of such basic joys as the burdens of adulthood steal our attention. So this is good to reclaim. :) Thank you for inspiring us to be proactive in availing ourselves of the beauty and wonders around us.
@@cacatr4495 It's 4 years later and a LOT has happened! I'm curious how your backyard birding has played out??
That squirrel wasn't scared this time seen some clips we're rats chase them off shit not this one.
Cats and Dogs Disliked this Video
I would imagine that a rat will attack
Cousins
That's a vole, not a rat
but it is not brown, it is grey. I am not arguing whether it is a rat or vole (I do not know what the native rats of whatever region this is looks like), but it definitely does not have the head or ears of a typical norwegian/pet rat (both are way too small in the video).
1:23 Squirrel makes fist!
🤨 Disappointing. Was hoping to see them fight...
I hate squirrel because when they be hungry they eat 🐁 and 🐀 and 🐍 . They r dirty animals
