The squirrel stores its nuts and acorns in preparation for the winter when food is scarce. Then spends though cold months scurrying about searching for his hidden store cupboards. The exercise keeps the chill from his bones, so I doubt it is just a forgetful mind that keeps him from his quarry. Are we humans as prepared for life and nature or have we gotten too used to convenience with food always available on supermarket shelves? Have our lives maybe become too cosseted?
