As an Anthropologist, I think asking why people create art is an excellent question that has yet to be adequately answered. You're absolutely right about science and curiosity, though.

They don't smell like animals, they likely make mechanical noises, and they probably emit some degree of EMF radiation that animals don't. Overall they aren't quite right in an animal's perspective.

I mean, come on, we're gonna send a stuffed animal with robotic motors to live among them...well, at least we'll know how they say "those dumb ass humans."

Asking why people would want to study squirrel behavior is tantamount to asking why people create art.

Thanks high school biology.

Yeah, that would be fun...

Gideon checked out but he left it, no doubt, to help with good Rocky's revival.
