Typo in the title: Thier should be their

Wow, Greta vídeo again!

Poor James, he never gets invited to do podcasts. He just stick to serenading to banana trees.

Just one tiny nitpick. You are referencing squirrels are predators. I find it quite unusual as I associate the word predators with animals that hunt other animals, not with collecting seeds. Maybe that is because the word in my native language applies only to animals. Still, M-W defines "predator" as "organism that primarily obtains food by the killing and consuming of other organisms ". If we consider eating seeds as "killing" then predator becomes synonymous to animal. Only plants can produce their own food.

It happened this year with the live oaks in California, but for some reason, a squirrel I know at the beginning of a trail goes nuts for pine cones. He's completely demolished dozens of them and left them by the side of the trail. Maybe he's sick of acorns.

@@LadyhawksLairDotCom I wonder when my tree will have a mast year next...Makes me think it is some climate indicator so huge zones of oak trees all trigger at the same time. (i'm in IA btw). The world is nuts.

@@GroovingPict No, it's a Western gray squirrel. A couple of weeks ago, he was eating a pine cone (from a California gray pine) on the side of the trail and was super irritated I made him climb a tree. All he could do was take a chunk of the pine cone with him and run. He stopped about twenty-five feet up, barked at me and tapped his front paw on the tree. That's gray squirrel for "screw you!" XD

Paul stammets has provn theory. Google him. Mushrooms are the futre

I think it got proven already love ur vids btw

" I know it sounds a bit Avatar," ... or like weirwood trees in World of Ice and Fire / Game of Thrones

@@curtisbaker4325, Paul Stamets is an interesting guy, but if you have seen any interviews or movies that include him, it is clear that he takes significant amounts of psilocybin mushrooms. While I don't fully discredit his research, it is quite likely that many of his theories are attached to an altered state of mind from psilocybin mushrooms. Now sharing nutrients is 100%, and similarly hormonal transfer between trees is also possible through the mycelium networks. So not really "communication" in the same sense as animals, more likely are cycles where trees produce more hormones and those are passed through the mycelium to other neighboring trees, the young trees will get huge boosts in hormones during this extreme years which will cause them to sync up with the rest of the trees. It is also that the majority of new trees will happen from those extreme years, so they will all grow around the same time helping them start off already well in sync. The real question would be, is it something like hormone transfer through the mycelium that causes these cycles to be in sync, or is it just the fast the most trees will be "planted" during these cycles so will already be in sync on these cycles, or as stated in the video it could be some environmental factor like temperatures that causes the syncing.

Plants can communicate with chemicals through the air too And saw a UKposts video on how plants can think and even count!

Absolutely correct! Friendship it is, though some of the squirrels are secretly heartbroken that that's as far as things are gonna go...

@@eeHMFIC yup! They give eachother nut

I didn’t like squirrel when I was younger, as I only knew them for their skill at destroying bird feeders or scattering the seed at best. But I’ve grown to really adore them, and I have seen countless trees sprouting that would certainly survive if not for lawn mowing

Good to read I was not the only one.

Your comment makes more sense when spelled phonetically in English. At least I think I remember Dutch doubled-vowels are short. So you write "eekhoorns" but if you said it I'd hear "ekhorns." Except that won't make much sense to you, because you'd read that as having long vowels. :)

Reminds me of the german for squirrel- eichhornchen. Which is just "little squirrel" if you take the eichhorn to mean squirrel Fun

Ekorn in Norwegian, I suspect those are related to the English acorn. The acorn in Norwegian is eikenøtt (oak nut)

In what way is this different from you having wants and needs?

@@kosimochaosbold7544 The interplay between genetics and environment that is responsible for producing specific behaviours in plants is much simpler than the same kind of interplay that is responsible for producing specific behaviours in humans; which then leads to more variation in behaviour among individuals of a human population compared to any plant species.

​@@MrAlRats Considering the range and tempo of variation and intersubject-exchange that point does go to you; but I still doubt that it would be correct to say all plantlife has less complexity in behaviour or even consciousness than humankind - even thou it is not in a form we yet recognise, less if you don't confine it to a single species. I agree based on our human realm of expirience. But I do think that this might be in part due the hybris of the human race, to regard ourselfes as the only truely conscious beeings. Think of a whole forest, it has quite a network of communicating parts, just not the same way we humans with our braincells, gut bacteria and hormones da. Thanks for giving the explanation, I'm sorry that I try to agree and object simulaneously, but I do hope to give out seed from which brainfood might arise!

seed dispersal is literally the only thing plants want to do. they spend all their energy doing that and growing in ways that make it easier to do. trees don't have brains and consciences as far as we can tell, but they definitely do want to spread their seeds.

@@kosimochaosbold7544 A tree doesn't want anything because wanting is a function of a brain and a tree doesn't have one. Unfortunately, human languages lean so heavily toward expressing actions and motivations of other thinking, feeling entities that there is a lack of convenient verbs to describe how natural phenomena and inanimate objects function.

Yep.

Yes, plants actually talk, scream, react as crowds, share, care for the injured, shun groups based on family, etc. Almost everything you attribute to animal life, plants do it to! Just in a very weird, strange, super slow motion and/or hard to notice way for something that lives like us. It's as if we move in super, super fast forward to them, and we don't understand their main source of communication naturally (chemicals / smells) so of coarse we struggle to see them as the same as animal life!

Really interesting!

Oh noes cus hearing a "dirty" word will surely ruin you and make you go to hell. Fornication or f**king...it's all referring to the same thing so why does one word matter over the other...it's the same THING.

If you want to be strict about it - and I do - 'fornication' implies adulterous or otherwise illicit sex, so it doesn't apply animals mating. @@diegosanchez894 That's a load of nonsense. 'Fuck' was not always spelled this way.
