A movie of 'Squirrel Obstacle Course' over the garden by a former NASA engineer who was played 12 million times in 2 days
In the United States and Canada, there is a culture of setting up feeding boxes for wild birds in the garden. A former NASA engineer who said that the bait box installed in the garden of his house was damaged by squirrels set up an 'obstacle course for squirrels'. A movie that shows the process of creating an obstacle course and how squirrels actually run around the course has been receiving a great deal of attention with 12 million plays in two days after its release.
The obstacle course for squirrels attacking wild bird bait boxes was created by YouTuber Mark Rober, who has worked for NASA's Curiocity development team and Apple's product designers.
In the bait box in Mr. Rover's garden, you could once see wild birds pecking their food.
However, a squirrel who knows the existence of the bait box attacks and eats the bait without permission.
Sometimes I even put my weight on the bait box and dropped it.
That's why Mr. Rover makes use of his technical ability as a former NASA engineer ...
I decided to set up an obstacle course in the garden to protect the bait box.
At the bottom of the bait box, there is a wooden safe with plenty of walnuts as a free gift.
By the way, the content is walnut because it was found in the preliminary survey that the nuts that squirrels like are walnuts.
The first barrier of the obstacle course is the all-you-can-eat nuts corner. There are plenty of nuts in a container that imitates an ice cream counter, but this is a trap. If you eat nuts from here ...
A mechanism that a stuffed toy guard appears from the side door.
After passing through this all-you-can-eat corner, you will find a scaffolding of unstable thin sticks that spin around.
Next to this scaffold is a helicopter that moves forward with the weight of a squirrel.
In addition, there is a scaffolding with a 2D action game that 'disappears after riding for a certain period of time'.
In the elevator room that follows, when the squirrel pushes a button ...
A mechanism that a ladder comes down from above.
This ladder leads to a maze on the roof.
After passing through the maze, you will find a small room that reproduces a certain 'room with infrared sensors' in a spy movie.
The scaffolding through this small room is the only pedestal on which you can jump on the scaffolding of the last safe.
When a squirrel that has broken through all obstacles touches the safe ...
The walnuts inside will come out gritty.
When the walnuts come out, the squirrel is surprised and runs away, but at the same time, the mechanism for returning to the safe is also opened, so ...
The conqueror can enjoy the walnut festival to his heart's content.
All of these obstacles are equipped with emergency exits in case the squirrel is trapped.
