Sound on please

Note- The Midwest red squirrel, even without a microphone shoved close to it, grumbles and makes a lot of noise at almost every moment it is awake. especially when they are eating

Wildlife photographer Dani Connor records the sound of a 7 week old baby red squirrel makes while eating.

FP Edit: Just watch the squirrel. Everything will be alright.

The audio from this was used in Dune for the scene with the desert mouse.

Grumbles and makes noises from the moment they wake up, even whilst eating?
Are they talking about me?

Guessing this is the kind of thing a shotgun is good for. Note i mean the microphone type not the doomguy removing demons type.

The rare moment a squeaky sound doesn't need WD40

4 months ago | Likes 27 Dislikes 1

I'm going to say this off tangent, but I have to say this. I'm compelled.

WD-40 does not belong on any component of a bicycle. I'm going to repeat this. WD-40 does not belong on any component of a bicycle. Sure, they now have a bicycle branded line that has specific stuff, but I don't like that product anyway.

I'm so sorry. I have spent a decade working in a bicycle shop and it is one of my largest pet peeves in arguments. It is a hill I will die on.😆

WD40 is also not a lubricant! This also needs repeating!
It displaces water. That is what WD stands for. Use Actual Lubricant!

The main ingredient in it other than propellent is hydrocarbon mineral oil. Motor engine oil falls into the mineral oil family. There is also a silicone version of WD40.

I don't use it simply because it's a very inefficient way of applying lubricant to the chain.

Do you prefer dry chain lubricant wax?

Where I bike, it gets wet and muddy. I wipe down the chain often to get dirt and sand out of it but I apply Mobil One 0W 30 full synthetic after wiping.

Why does everybody hate WD-40 so much?

Is that really the sound a baby squirrel makes when eating, or is it just the sound a squirrel makes when you shove a mic in their face?

This is what they sound like. They grumble even in the wild.

Isn’t that a little dangerous to be making noise and letting other critters know you have food?

4 months ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

You know, you would think. Kind of one of the reasons why these little critters are my spirit animal. As they run about, they squeak.

Well, from my old place, that is.

how do I get "gently poking squirrels" as a job?..

Art school isn't for the faint of heart. It's not how you'll get a job, but it also isn't for the faint of heart.

Do not poke the squirrel. (Mic is near not touching, trust me you would hear the difference. Oddly enough, I have poked a squirrel with the same kind of mic)
