An angry little squirrel has been filmed trying to scare away a black bear 1,000 times bigger that was trying to steal its nuts in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.
In a clip from new Disney+ documentary series America the Beautiful, a hidden camera captures the moment when a bear tries to raid the squirrel's stash of nuts that it has been gathering for the winter, and the squirrel does its best to chase it away.
This camera trap footage is part of the documentary crew's approach, capturing fly-on-the-wall behavior that the animals might never have done if there was a human camera crew lurking nearby. This allowed the team to film smaller, quirkier natural stories that they might not have even known to look for.

I wanted to be the first to say it, but then...
Click bait, no video.
I give up. Can’t find the video..
I know squirrels are destructive, rodent vermin, but I have come to admire them.
They are hardworking and persistent. Granted, they cannot cross roads safely, but I chalk that up to the Assistant Angel that God farmed out the programming of the road-crossing algorithm to.
That Angel had a history, and I think God gave him another chance. Well, I suppose it is best they can’t cross roads. Other predators don’t seem to want to have much to do with them, or if they do, don’t seem to catch them often.
If it weren’t for them getting squished on the road, they might well have taken over the world by now.
Thank God for Henry Ford!
I remember an episode of Alone, a woman found a squirrel’s cache of mushrooms, stored for the Winter. That squirrel was mad as Hell.
they raid bird nests and eat the eggs- even chipmunks will too i guess-
Who has the story about the biker and the psycho squirrel?

“...but I chalk that up to the Assistant Angel that God farmed out the programming of the road-crossing algorithm to.
LOL so true!
My daughter’s cat will sit and watch squirrel()s) for hours on end, will not go for them. Gopher is another story, the cat turns into the terminator.
“Granted, they cannot cross roads safely”
I think they’re just suicidal.
Had a black bear rummage through my trashcan. Turned on the light and banged on the door to scare him away.
No way a squirrel is going to beat off a bear, even if his nuts are at stake.
I think they are indecisive...tenative.
They dart out and stop to almost reverse direction and then proceed forward on their previous course. As if the moving objects (4 tires) confuses them. Then...wham.
If they made a mad dash on their initial course at full speed, I think they'd do better.
You mess with my nuts, you’re going to have a fight on your hands mister.
Like Biden sqeaking at Putin.
Something is not right here. Shouldn't the Disney production be "America the Queer" or "CRT America" or "TransAmerica" or "American Pedophile"?
LOL.
Not the squirrel I’m talking about.
Biker in TX riden his Harley down the street at 45mph and encounters a psycho rodent bent on mayhem.

WOW !!! Can we hire this squirrel to run the wheel to power FR ?
