My name is Ross, and for my behavioral ecology project I decided to study squirrels. I made this decision because my yard and neighborhood as a whole are filled with the little guys, and I have never taken the time to learn anything about them. For my experiment, I am testing a concept known as 'optimal foraging' or the process behind how and when the squirrels like to eat or gather food. To do this, I am placing various little piles of acorns in different places around my house, specifically high in the trees and at the base of those trees to see which ones they prefer. One thing I found very interesting is that through my observations, I have learned the squirrels can jump up to 8 times their own body length.
As for me, I enjoy acting, playing baseball, and hanging out with friends
