Why do squirrels bury acorns when they forget five minutes after where they berried it?
After observing squirrels in my yard, I asked myself, Why do they bury acorns when there are thousands laying on the ground. The answer is actually very ingenious. Burying the acorns subjects them to moisture which in turn causes them split open and sprout, the squirels don't have to remember where they buried them. They just look for the tiny seedlings emerging and know that underneath is a yummy, nutritious snack and mother nature has already cracked the shell open for them. I have verifiied this through observation. Again, quite ingenious, because any acorns that are missed become new oak trees, insuring the propagation of more trees.

What is the ecological niche of grey squirrel?
The grey squirrel's live in habitats where they are the prey. They spread around nuts of large trees and eat/store them for the winter. They hide seeds they cannot carry and sometimes forget where they were hidden. Also by eating the seeds and then pooping, they spread the seeds way further than the trees ever could. They live in large forests usually around Oak Trees. Their adaptions are their sharp claws for holding onto branches. :)
