Squirrels don’t remember where they hide their nuts.

They rely on heuristics to find them! (A fancy word that roughly means “it seems like something I’d do”)

When trying to find nuts, they look at a spot and think “that would make a good place to hide a nut” so they go looking for one there.

So it's likely that squirrel nut collection/distribution is unintentionally more socialist than we give them credit for.
