Mission Impossible Squirrel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsuVLsDyln4

This takes place in England - the owners of the yard added each piece
of the Rube Goldberg contraption slowly so that when the squirrel
learned one section and got the nuts, they then added the next
section.

Finally it ended with what you see on the clip!

It took over 2 weeks to get to this point.

4. I might have seen that!
Was it about building a bird feeder that squirrels couldn't get to?

8. I saw it on tv several times. I think there is more than one episode.
Animals are not necessarily so dumb. I also like the ones where the birds take a bone and drop it onto a rock, to break it open. It has to be done just right, then they eat the marrow.

9. Now I know how they destroyed my seemingly unreachable bird feeder.
It was a nice housewarming gift and now it's torn to shreds. These guys are ruthless!

11. The little rocket is cool.
That squirrel could be in a Bond movie.
