Why do squirrels like nuts?

Nuts are their preferred food. They are born with the desire to eat them. Just as some birds like to eat worms.
Every living thing has a sort of job in the place they live in. Since trees don't really have a way to send their nuts far away from them, they entice the squirrel to do it for them. Since they make so many nuts, the squirrel has to hide some and they forget where they buried some of them. The nut grows into a tree (usually far from the parent tree).
The squirrel has a food supply and the trees have a helper in planting the seeds (nuts) for them. They both benefit from the arrangement.
