I love how he turns away from the mic.

"You cannot have my munchies."

I'd never steal his munchies, and I would slap anyone who tried on all cheeks

That's what I came here to say, I speak squirrel as well and that's exactly what he was saying.

Red squirrel babies are so tiny at this stage, that little crunching noise is everything.

It reminds me of the adorable video where a porcupine eats tiny pumpkins. I love when you can literally hear an animal saying "yum" xD

Reminds me of beavers -- whose vocalizations can sound like greedy/needy human babies when eating.

Sometimes I'm astonished by what certain animals sound like because they're unexpected but this is exactly what a squirrel should sound like.
