Wild Chipmunk Adorably Stuffs Cheeks With Peanuts

Although we would like to believe so, there is no real boundary from where the wilderness ends and our concrete jungle begins. The ecosystems don’t work that way. The constant expansion of our ecosystem is barging in on the millions of other ecosystems governed by wild animals, and we are bound to cross paths one way or another.

The wild wild world outside our door is full of wonders. You can’t predict someone’s actions any more than you can predict the weather. It just doesn’t happen. The inner workings of the mind are off limits to us humans, and this applies to anything walking and breathing on this earth.

We often hear the phrase ”survival of the fittest,” but do we really know what it means?! The first thing that comes to mind is the physical fitness of someone, but funnily enough, that is not always the case. This idiom comes from the Darwinian theory of evolution and what it means is that whoever has the best blend of traits is the one who will progress in evolution. Basically, this phrase explains the principle of natural selection that Darwin was talking about.

We often forget that animals have more in common with us than we might think. We all need food to sustain us, warmth and shelter and of course, companionship to help us grow our kind. But, we often forget about the time that ticks away simultaneously while we fulfil our basic needs. There are 1440 minutes in a day, and it can get lonesome from time to time. Wild animals, contrary to our beliefs, aren’t immune to loneliness.So, it comes as no surprise that we rejoice the instances when we see them behave just like us, showing happiness and playfulness, just like we do.

This following footage filmed in Aurora, Ontario, Canada on June 17, 2018 of a wild chipmunk stuffing its face with peanuts just makes us even more certain that in some ways, both wild and human beings can be the greatest goofballs ever.

This is what the licensor had to say about the video: "Van Gogh (VG for short) is a wild chipmunk from Ontario, Canada who visits me every day- as you can see from the video, he is quite the pig. He will stuff as many peanuts possible in his cheeks before running back to his burrow to store for later. He will then come back to visit me, get some back scratches/pets, indulge in more peanuts, and bolt back to his burrow once again. This action will be repeated for as long as I am outside/as long as the peanuts are available! This is VG’s second summer coming around (he hibernates through the winter). He is missing part of his left ear, which is why I decided to name him Van Gogh, after the famous painter."
