thedarkagesSquirrels live in a state of constant fear: on the one hand, that they have not acquired sufficient nuts, and, on the other hand, if they have, that they will lose these nuts to theft, predation, or overeating. Even when they are placed in conditions of complete sufficiency, their desire to hoard and guard nuts persists.

Come the Guanaco Revolution, these drives will become maladaptive.
Watch this space over the next few years.
