In the popular TV series "The Walking Dead" humans can hide from zombies by covering themselves in zombie guts, masking their scent. The California ground squirrel (Otospermophilus beecheyi) uses a similar tactic to hide from a major predator, the rattlesnake, which relies on smell to track down its prey.

Small Cheddar I was wondering if anyone was going to comment on that part and you did. it was cute.
When the squirrel touches the other one on the head he or she is like shhhhg lmao
Vaxin IsAlwaysHere right just a smack in the face😂😂😂
I like the way how they rub it to their children
Bloody genius.
Damn that's actually pretty impressive. I assumed it would've been just one squirrel carrying the skin around with it but this is way better
ClockworkKlay That's when they learn to make snakeskin coats. After thousands of years, they'll do it purely for fashion. Then mankind will be brought to its knees.
Those conniving punks, I always knew they would be our final undoing
That squirrel covering the other squirrel's eyes. It's like. No, look away Timmy.
I knowacing
He said leave it to me
Holyfuck! They're so smart!
Faizal Hendrawan watch your mouth!
Damn! I'm seriously impressed. That is some crazy smart skills right there.
What I learned from this clip - squirrels watch The walking dead.
0:16 Don't look Jimmy
Where's the squirrel's crossbow tho?
I think the correct title is: "the walking dead uses squirrel move to hide from zombies
Mark my words, it's only a matter of time before squirrels take over the world.
Colonel Grande that won't happen as long as cats exist
Did you see the Rick & Morty squirrel clip?
But they are so DUMB
That is smarter than the squirrels around where I live lol
00:30 I like how the Squirrels chirp here and open there mouths to call for danger. So cute.
Smart little bastards!
This shows that the phrase "dumb animal' was created by a dumb human.
They're learning!!!
California ground squirrels develop some immunity to rattlesnake venom, perhaps because of this behavior. They also lick their pups (which don't develop the immunity until one month of age) with their snakeskin-infused spit to give them a "booster".
0:17 Squirrel: “ Oh no baby, don’t look!”
squirrel's like i'm going to do whats called a pro gamer move
0:15 cover your eyes this might get dirty
They are so smart ❤️❤️😂
i do the same by rubbing my boss' perfume and she will leave me alone all day.
Animals are far smarter than most people give them credit for.
Negan picks on the squirrels too. Everywhere is Negan
I suppose the squirrel could do a Shane and just shoot the Otis squirrel in the leg and run like hell.
I thought the squirrel was going to wear the skin 😂
Squirrel Mom: you get some and you get some and you get some and we ALL get some
Smart squirrels.
0:16 Close your eyes Jimmy.
THEY'RE EVOLVING
I swear animals i becoming more clever than average people
all fun and games till the snake goes "ay steve you're feelin a little furry today-"
Holy fuck they're evolving
0:15 "Dont move! They cant see us if we dont move..."
As soon as the squirrel started rubbing the scent, My eyes and fingers were desperate to pursue the LIKE button.
That’s so Smart 😃
Little smart shank
The new season of walking dead trailer is looking great
The real meaning of practice beats talent.
Those little things are so smart. How did they know to rub snake scent on them
If they smell like snake won't the snake mate with them?? We'll call the baby squake 👌🤣
I have 400 years tree in the back yard , it happen to be house of squirrels 🐿 live here for 40 years and they living at the same place .They don’t bother me once and while tissue or napkin are missing I know they did they used to pad there home for new arrival of course they dig and hid there 🥜 NUTS ,Of course Blue Jay stills from them but there trick with snack tops it all . How clever that little creature is? They come take nuts from my hand the family older but trick the snake?I am very Impressed.
That freaking squerrel was like eating the other one,WOW
The snake was like cut the cameras.
Whoa!! I love squirrels even more now !
Haha In the beginning around 0.14 "Brenda honey, don't look it's awful." 🤣🤣🤣
Lil guys are smart
I had to do this once.
mom did great jod taking care of her young 🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️🐿️
The mom just held her damn kid like a basket ball
"This...is rattler country." Squirrel: "Don't look at this, son! This will get ugly!"
And the rattler gives up and never eats again, except for grass and veggies.
@ 0:15 *Don't look, this is about to get ugly*
All YOU have awesome replys
Brilliant indeed!!! 👍😎
Brilliant!
How can someone not believe their is a God?
Once you start typing "there" it may make more sense.
Squirrels are friggen awesome, that's why mammals are evolutionary masters
That snake must be extremely slow for it to lock onto its preys' scent and the squirrels was able to find shed snake skin and start chewing on it to get the scent from the skin and then to be able to rub it all over its body. AND the other squirrels were able to do the same thing and was even able to cover their babies with the snake skin scent. After all that, the snake gets confused and wanders away. Yeah.. Okay...
This shows squirrels are smarter than we are.
Really brilliant nature
You just fuckin wait till Negan gets here.
Lee: “...you might want to pinch your nose”
0:13 guy posing with dikpic vs girls trying to avoid seeing them.
HOLY FUCK GENIUS
No. They're just smart.
Squirrel:smart snake:dumb
Animals are smarter than people think
Now we need 'Shedded Snake Skin Perfume.' Perfect.
0:17 Squirrel: shhh Other squirrel: wha- why?
Funny Moments 0:15 Squirrel - "Son cover your eyes... They are here.." 1:16 Squirrel - "I'm just gonna eat ya.. :D" or "Lemme just spit on you.." 1:25 Squirrel - "I'm just gonna drop you on the ground.. Just like this *splat* "
I couldn't have figured that out myself if I were there.
Awesome
Squirrel 🐿 is the imposter all along!
Looking sus
How clever, reminds me zombie shows where humans rub zombie juices on themselves to smell like zombies and pass through undetected
Fucking genius lol
Doesn't seem to fool my cat...
im not impressed...Sandy can do better than that.
That doesn't mean every snake leaves them alone. Snakes can be cannibalistic and there are snakes that even feed on rattlesnakes.
"wheres carl? Carl!"
i'm amazed
I went searching for diamonds and found gold.
How in evolution did squirrels learn this trick?
KZhead algorithm going crazy lol
Clever
It's just like taking blood from a dead walker!
Squirrel Dixon
Is the squirrel too much smart ,or the snek stupid as fuc* lol
But I thought you said there was no escape?
if this squirrel teaches everybody, this snake is as good as extinct..
How do the squirrels know that the snake hunts them by smell though?
WoW
We are just big yeast
WHAT'S U SMELL ISN'T WHAT'S ITS IS HUH?
Those look like prairie dogs not squirrels
so are rattle snakes blind or sumn
Why is this just showing up in my recommendations who else
