Made friends with a squirrel in the museum park yesterday. He kept coming back for more peanuts. He'd come right up to me and take the peanut in the shell from my fingers.
But when I switched hands, to the hand with the watch on the wrist, he hesitated. How interesting that he noted that and wasn't sure it was safe. Didn't know anything about the watch. When I went back to holding the peanut in the other hand without the watch, he didn't hesitate. He must have taken 7 or 8 peanuts from me.
Who knew squirrels were so observant.
