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

Could This Have Happened By Accident?

Evolution? Bah!! First Amendment?!
Piddledly-poo! How can any scientists in their right mind look at the wonders

have happened by accident? Films include: Carnivorous Plants, Biography of
