So we’re heading to a squirrel-themed adventure course and practicing a few of the skills they use to survive: gathering nuts, traveling in trees, and speaking like a squirrel. We’ll also learn about how squirrels evolved, and hear about some of their surprising relatives.Plus, a mystery sound and a moment of um: what chemical in apples mixes with oxygen to turn brown?You can support the show at brainson.org/donate or check out our merch (including the Brains On book) at brainson.org/shopSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
