University of Wisconsin at Eau Claire and University of California at Davis studied ground squirrels in Northern California .
Researchers observed squirrels of both genders and of a wide age range hunting voles 31 times, including 17 kills.
Voles were most hunted near squirrels’ burrows, leading researchers to believe voles were seeking safety in the burrows when they encountered them.
Squirrels are mostly income breeders, meaning they can produce more offspring if they eat more, so Smith wonders if eating voles could cause squirrels to have more babies. She has other unanswered questions, such as how widespread hunting is among squirrels and if they earn to hunt by nature or nurture. “It will be exciting to see what happens next,” Smith said, “and if, given their new found taste for meat, squirrels target other animals in the future.” 12 -23-2024 08:35PM.
