Question

Squirrels forget where they hide about half of their nuts . Explain it. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

squirrels are capable of "spatially chunking" (that is, placing nuts of the same type into individual caches that are separate from those belonging to another type), and this process may help the squirrels remember the locations of each cache more easily).

Answer 2

Explanation:

Swihart and his colleagues have found that gray squirrels bury nuts all over the place, and often forget them. That results in trees growing in new areas. But red squirrels store nuts in piles on the ground. Those piled-up nuts tend to dry out and don't take root.
