Learning about survival from the Squirrel

We as humans think that some animals can be very annoying. We may call them pests. But what we don't know is squirrels have survived in a harsh environment and have lived and adapted to our environment for many generations. Squirrels live on all continents except Antarctica and Australia. They even reside in the Himalayas. The elasticity of their body gave them some of the ability to adapt. They have many unique things about them. They can leap 10 times the length of their body, rotate their ankles 180 degrees. Squirrels are quick at manipulating each other and objects, they are social, chatty, complain, and nest in clans. Squirrels are very similar to primates and similar to us as well. Their ability and skills of observing other species or squirrels are other reasons and to why they have survived for so long. They observe us humans as well. They wait and cross the street when we do. So in other words they are very observant of all of their surroundings/people to see things they can do so they will be able to survive in their/our environment. I think this should be a trait that would should adapt from the squirrels. Our lives is a constant learning experience. So if we look around and see not only what squirrels do but others as well they may offer us something to learn. So even though we may see them as pests we should stop and think/observe as to why and how they have lived as long as they have and what we could do differently or learn from them and perhaps we might survive a little longer!
