You are visiting a relative many miles from your home, and you hear them complain about how all the squirrels in the area are making nests in the cars parked in the driveways. You note that their squirrels are the same species as the one you know from home. Where you live, most people park in their driveways too, but there the squirrels tend to nest in the roofs of houses. What does this difference in activity between these populations of squirrels reveal about the squirrels?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The difference in nesting behavior between the two populations of squirrels suggests that they have different cultural norms and preferences for nesting sites. This is the best answer because while language and consciousness could also be factors influencing behavior, there is no evidence to support these possibilities in this scenario.
