Going Nuts: Tales from the Squirrel World

Squirrels are among the most familiar mammals, beloved for their park-side lunches, their astonishing acrobatics, and their presence as cartoons on TV. They inhabit an extraordinarily diverse range of habitats—some can fly, some swim, some live in trees or underground, while others thrive in icy wastes or blistering deserts. But don’t let their cuteness fool you: despite their small size, squirrels are among the planet's most successful species, and they often form large families. This blue-chip documentary explores a selection of the most fascinating squirrel species and reveals how they became so adept at surviving extreme environments and negotiating with curious (human) neighbors. 'Going Nuts' unveils the enchanting world of one of the planet's most-watched mammals.
