(Montage by Chicoutimi) |
We’re talking about squirrels. It turns out that they have many human-like traits. A research study from the University of California found that “some are more outgoing than others.” And guess what? They’re the ones that get more goodies.
Shy squirrels just don’t get around as much. They therefore don’t collect as many nuts and don’t reach as many predator-free spots. Their more aggressive counterparts are greater risk-takers, which could yield its own set of disadvantages.
Whether human or rodent, it takes all kinds to make a balanced society. When diverse personalities work together, chances increase for peace in the valley.
