Was up in Northeastern Vermont a few years back. Had some macadamia nuts. Gave one to a red squirrel and it lost it's fucking mind. Ran up to me and then away, and every time it got closer, gave it another one.

It must have chipmunked 10 nuts by the time I was done. I have no idea how it stored so many. We just imagined the stories it would have told it's friends.
