So how do they find their stockpile? The Squirrel Almanac's Dr. Peg, a seasoned squirrel researcher, says only further research can explain conclusively, but current data suggest three possibilities: the use of smell, the use of landmarks, or perhaps least likely, relying on a darn good memory. Most of our search results seemed to corroborate the smell theory. A number of sites even indicate that some squirrels can detect scents through many feet of snow.
