Posts tagged ‘Crater Lake National Park’

Churchill – Wexler Films, 10 min 45 sec Shows how a gold-mantled ground squirrel at Crater Lake National Park has learned to solve problems connected with getting food. Illustrates how an animal can learn to find food that is hidden from view or out of reach.

This is one of the AV Geeks favorite films, mostly because Squeak is somewhat of a working class hero who, inspite of what obstacles “the Man” puts in his way, always perseveres.

This film is available on the Those Naughty Animals DVD-R

The biggest hauls are made by women who can carry up to 25 pounds of meat, cigarettes, typewriters or shoe polishers under their dresses. If you are a store owner, its hard not to watch this without assuming that everyone is your store to steal from you…
