How an Arctic Squirrel Survives Winter | Wild Alaska | BBC Earth 

James Bond will return in... 8 months.

LMAO

Dhruv Girgenti L😂L

And without food

Researchers hope that their study of arctic ground squirrel will help them understand the human brain`s potential more fully. Their goal is to learn more about how to prevent or even reverse the cellular damage that occurs in brain diseases, including Alzheimer`s. Did the arctic ground squirrel`s resilient brain come by evolution? Or was it designed?

lol

hahaha so true

Me

That’s a good nap. I love those kinds.

Jessie Dickson lmao 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

She needs him to bust a nut

Why didn't they get a camera down that borrow?

@@Sandler23 u Are a pervert

@@Sandler23 you sick fuck

@@Sandler23 let the squirrels do their "squirrel things" you know

+RazordraacGaming Or death for that matter. (I'm looking at you spiders!)

Roelof Hetsen well humans do worst. i mean like nowadays people are beginning too cast black magic at each other just too get what they want but black magic won't bring anything good but harm because black magic is evil and it was meant to harm people which is why it is taboo

harido jamaru What are you inhaling? I’d like to try it.

Well, we don't know. What happens inside holes, stays inside holes. Maybe they're into pain.

harido jamaru You are right, but Non Muslims won't understand what you are speaking about dear

Ahahaha

evolution is hoax

alright hotshot

729 more whites and hispanics get welfare than blacks. All of that inbreeding made you prone to ignorance. I blame your mom/sister.

@Ali Tha Phoenix Blacks make up ~40% of welfare all recipients. Whites make up ~40% of welfare all recipients. However, 12.3% of the population in america is black. Whites make up 62-77% depending on if you count white hispanics. So... if you can do math at all, many more blacks are on welfare. Now I won't insult your race like you did either xD

He lol

stop it 😭✋

+101jlee *BBC Earth* and chill

Mela Pelas Well the "chill" part of that scenario is nature doing its thang I guess, XD!

oh god

+Earth Linger A lot of BBC Earth's documentaries *are on Netflix.* So the catchphrase "Netflix and Chill" still applies.

Squirrels don't have Netflix. They have Nutflix.

oh it's very slow compared to how they usually breath. if u see a real squirrl they breath freakishly fast

Squirrels are tiny, their hearts beat 130 times per second.

@boro vinkovna haha oops i think thats what i meant

When they hibernate, they breath like a couple times minute

"No time to hesitate" as it shows him hesitating. wtf?

ImSureItsFine Weird how us humans evolved. We were once like them.

+Daniel 786 Nothing but a theory tho.

Poke King so is gravity

Amen Jesus made us all. He is so great

Most animals usually has one night stands. Especially rodents.

most are not even one night stand, more like 10 seconds stand ...

Then dinner.

Nelson Pham I hate spiders!!!

In animal world, there is no love. They are driven by instinct, and do what they have to do.

he got better game than you

lol! I was going to say the same thing!!

Lol!

Nobody wants your nuts.

Evolution needs to do this to humans....

THAT GIRL ;P yeah

@@bitchhp2973 oh yeah

@III-GabeN-III more important, Will save lives of the unborn!!!

Hold my nut

*burrow

Hold my dreams

😃🤣

I mean, comparing like 2 beats per minute to like 100 beats per minute ... big difference.

Jim Vecchio in the beginning of the video it says it’s a special “burrow camera” so either the burrow is part camera or they managed to sneak a camera in it I guess? Haha

Maybe they put the camera in before he began hibernating and left it there until the summer. They got lucky and the squirrel slept right on screen. I don’t know. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jim Vecchio idk about this situation specifically but when filming nature they use all kinds of weird equipment. They use tiny cameras on bendable poles, that could be what they did here

Or maybe the one they showed in the burrow isn't the same one above ground. Luckily with this technology called film you can chop lots of things together to make them look the same

Squirrel was a paid actor!!

haha same

jesse beeghly it's not sleeping, it's hibernation, very different. You can't wake up easily during hibernation and it's a natural process that happens every year in some animals, they can't control it, cause it's a way to survive the cold winter when the food supply is extremely low. Your body force you to hibernate, you don't choose.

F Bart I know it just seems crazy that you start off in basically a coma then you wake up 8 months later. I guess it's good that they don't have a sense of time.

Yep, you do. Which is why they usually eat a lot of fat before hibernating. They usually come out pretty thin too.

jesse beeghly are you a squirrel

Humans do have the state of REM in which one can never be able to wake up naturally by the cycle of dreaming state and the bodyclock that has a fixed time to make ourselves wake up at a certain point of time. It can vary person to person, depending on their daily cycles, schedules, jet-lag, habits, careers etc. Most of working ppl's brain release the sleeping hormones during the night, around 2-4'o clock in the morning. Once the body receives melatonin it has at least 3 hours' half-period to feel the fatigue is completely gone (you'll feel that before this hormone released your mind is sober when waking up and it doesn't feel like you have slept at all). I think the body clock for this animal is set for a much longer time because, most probably, the squirrel's brain keeps releasing sleeping hormones between certain intervals so that it helps them not to feel sober or to wake up during hibernation. I'm neither a biologist nor a vet, so I am not sure how exactly the sleeping cycle works for the immune systems of these little creatures, but sleeping pattern still interests me a lot.

jooos did it.

In the two years since this post have you figured out sometimes you accidentally hit the thumbs down button when watching on your phone?

The nature is a miracle not a chaos, because it has an amazing logic patternised in life.

@@heidikang4210 Word salad.

why is your name wendy and not karen

F that. Just hire a dub narrator. Much more efficient and more direct. Don't give me the excuse the dub will suck. We disproved this claim years ago with current anime English dubs. Some have been known to literally flip an awful show into a great one thanks to allowing them more creative liberty or add more to the original content in a good way. They proved there's no excuse for making bad dubs now. You're just not hiring the right staff on board.

You forgot 59 mins, but nice one

+Peter Petelski beautiful film. .

+Jerzyslonik Happy you like it *Jurek :-)* Thank you too

Peter Petelski happy new weekend Peter. :))) well best. :))) Hugs.

whos peter?

Sleep while the boys fight it out. No need to worry until morning when everything is sorted and they can pay attention to you.

Can't we have one BBC video where men are't whining about women?

Make no mistake, real men dont waste time on trivial matters much less try to understand women. We either sleep with one eye open or not.

Lemon Zest lol are u offended... Because we wouldnt want you to be uncomfortable

black magic753, don't be stupid. Lemon Zest is speaking truth; I see bitter boys whining about women on almost every video comments. And I say boys because even as adults, they will never grow up and be men.
