The Squirrel Trilogy

A couple of months ago, I posted two, long, 25-minute videos made by a fellow named Mark Rober that I said (for my taste) were the two best Adorable Animal Videos I've seen.  The basic concept was that he wanted to see if he could build a convoluted, Rube Goldberg-like obstacle course that squirrels would have to go through, in order to keep them from eating food meant for birds.  (Though it's clear he was pretty much rooting for them.)

The first one is here.

And the second is here.

They are total joys.

And Mark Rober has now made a third.  This one is basically from the standpoint of "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em."  As he writes -- "I gave up on trying to battle my squirrels... but what if they battled each other?"

And so, here are:  The Backyard Squirrelymics 3.0  The Summer Games
