Backyard Squirrel Maze 2.0- The Walnut Heist

Squirrels are underrated. Come join me this summer in my Creative Engineering class!! Monthly.com/MarkRober. Being able to design and make stuff is a superpower that can be learned and that more people should have!

The fact that Frank went on the roof, assessed the vent layout, and went in and nailed it, is incredible to me

Neighbor: “the squirrels are really becoming a problem”
Mark Rober: “yeah, I’ve been training them with a special obstacle course”

Everybody loves Phat Gus, but my personal fav is Frank, he figured out the entire vent system first try, and he even set up blueprints :) he’s cute, bold, and smart!

Riveting action! Aside from admiring your creativity and your abilities, I was at awe with the tenacity and intelligence of the squirrels. 16:41 minutes to watch squirrels go through the maze? So worth it!

Mark is the only dude on youtube who would spend a year building a better maze for his squirrels

Imagine how hyped the squirrels must get when they see you building stuff in your yard

Marty is just like "OH MY GOSH IT'S BETTER THEN I EVER COULD'VE DREAMED!!!" before he opens the safe

I love how Phat Gus figured out the helicopter ride by being so into eating he forgot it was moving

honestly at this point I want to see an animated series of Phat Gus, Rick, Marty, and Frank trying to pull off insane heists.

Fun fact:
Flying squirrels are no different from normal squirrels, but they have a big flap of skin between their arms and legs.
They use these “wings” to glide from tree to tree, parachuting, with MORE drag. So they glide.

This was better than reading a book! Loved the engineering and monologue, just amazing. My grand son is really going to enjoy this.

Who is ready for Squirrel 3.0? 👍😂

I'm legit so impressed by Frank going over the tubes and figuring out the maze first try.

14:40 makes sense because humans have only been around for almost 1.7 million years so squirrels know more than we do.

This is brilliant 👏 here in London. I have a squirrel 🐿that taps at my window🪟 every morning to be fed. Ix noticed the crows 🦅 now follow him and know his burial places to pinch the nuts!!!
I'm very impressed with your efforts in making this video 😊
Thanks for this x

Mark: "take more than an ounce, and you're gonna have to deal with security"
Squirrels: "this sign won't stop me because I can't read"

The fact that the squirrels were not only expecting the brick to fall back, but also were preparing for it! This amazes me. Squirrels are so intelligent

I love Mark's reasoning behind doing all of this; "They started it." lol

I gotta tell you: In the crazy, sad, dark world we live in, content like this is absolutely priceless. Thank you!

"Mommy, what are those 2 squirrels doing?
Rekindling their friendship."

its insane how the squirrel's personality totally makes sense with the storyline

Вчера смотрела первое видео про белок, сегодня попалось это, давно не попадался такой интересный контент на ютубе.

That PTSD line had me SCREAMING 😂😂😂

I love how he acts like the squirrels planned out everything and went to a squirrel shop to get the blueprints

Can we just take a moment to notice how smart these squirrels are? And the fact that, even a year after, the squirrel squad is still in band?

11:24 Squirrel ASMR time!!

Excellentissime !!!! Du haut de mes 64 ans, je suis ravie que des jeunes gens comme vous existent !!! Belle âme d'enfant, ne changez rien !!! 😂😂😂

"They were using the house to relax, stretch, look out the window, wrestle" lol I'm dying🤣

Imagine walking up to a pregnant person with a big sign that says "Can I call you Phat?" and then holding out a piece of cake with "yes" written on it and an empty plate with "no"

Having raised 2 orphan squirrels last year I had a chance to watch them develop all these amazing skills. They are clever, acrobatic creatures. Notice when they approach some object they’ve never seen. They get low and hold their fluffed up tails between them and the object. That way if the object attacks them, it gets the tail and not the squirrel. I love your obstacle courses!

the squirrel hanging in the mission impossible drop scene is soo funny, makes me wonder if he was a fan in a past life

It amazes me how Frank inspected the maze from the outside before entering

I don't know what amazes me more, the fact that you made this or the fact that the squirrels actually figured it out.

I love how phat gus was eating the bird feed at the end when there was a box full of walnuts just sitting there.

This is so multilayered, multi facetted and multi dimensional. Happy squirrels🐿😂 Thank you👍

"So frank walks in so they can settle their differences."
*proceeds to start battling*

I deeply hope this becomes a yearly series. I think we all have emotional connections to the characters at this point

It’s amazing how you came up with this maze…..hands down! 👏

It was with some consideration that I watched the entire video. But it was just so fun and festive to watch their battles against your system. As long as they haven't gotten any scratches and discomfort from their mission. Hope it still works and the squirrels enjoy the meal. Thank you very much for the smiles.

Watching a squirrel actually memorize the path of a maze by looking at it outside and then being able to go inside and get it perfectly on it's first try is one of the most mind-blowing things I have ever seen, I could not believe that a squirrel could posses that level of intelligence. Most of the other challenges by contrast were still really cool and funny, but were mostly just brute forced by repeated trials.

Mark made these squirrels seem like actual human beings with his spot on narration

4 часа ночи, может пора спать? Нет, буду смотреть видео с белками! :D

That squirrel house is the cutest and funniest thing I've seen today 😂❤

I hope he has cameras in his house because I can imagine these squirrels will be unlocking his front door shortly

“Or like... um... wrestle” that’s the best line in this whole video🤣

LOFL dude! AWESOME course, GREAT job makin' the courses ya build, ur definitely a GENIUS dawg!! CONGRATULATIONS 2 ALL the Squirrels tht made it!!

Really enjoy the squirrel’s series. I also love the squirrels at my back yard and observe them. Super cute animal.

I feel like the reason we all love this guy is because he never clickbaits, and he never brags about how smart he is.

I'd just like to point out that Marty the Hacker is the real MVP. He was the first to overcome the spinning bar, hacked the computers to drop the ladder, and conquered the laser box to open the vault. What a story arc.

I really appreciate all the hard work you put in to entertaining and teaching us science!

One of the most incredible, exciting, adventurous, and suspenful KRplus videos I have ever seen! I absolutely loved every second of this!

I'm starting to think that Mark is training the squirrels to pull an actual heist 😂

Why do I feel like at some point these 4 squirrels are gonna be so well trained at solving mazes that they be able to get into his house😂

This whole thing was adorable! Thanks for the genuine lols !

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Watched every second of it was entertained every second. Mahalo.

Neighbors: “Honey, he’s doing it again, he is playing with the squirrels”

Frank studying that maze then blasting through it gave me a further respect for rodents everywhere.

This is the first series of yours I watched, and I then became a big fan, and still do watch you.

Love love love this, you are a friggen genius!! Your commentary is awesome!!!

I hope that one day, Phat Gus will be telling her squirrel children about the Ninja Parkour Course and The Great Walnut Heist

I am getting the feeling Mark is actually training these squirrels for a real heist! 🤣

The comedy gags and writing are actually pretty funny better then what you'd normally find and then you have the amazing build, design, and footage. Overall a KRplus HOF video if such a thing existed in the critter puzzle category.

That was, absolutely, so entertaining and educational at the same time! Thank you!
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

THIS is the content we’re all here for. On that note, we now need a Phat Gus line of merch.

This guy went from NASA engineer to squirrel-course enthusiast, and I'm here for it.

This is so awesome. Thank you for also showing how smart squirrels are!

Some squirrels were getting into my attic and nesting in there. I set up some standard cage traps and put peanut butter on plates. I never caught any and they would consistently get the peanut butter. Sometimes they would leave things like insulation on the plates in the trap. I think they figured out they were traps and they would climb in on the roof of the cage (upside down) thus avoiding stepping on the trigger point on the floor of the cage.

Mark isn't trying to see how smart squirrels are, he is trying to make an elite squirrel crew.

I still don't understand how Mark manages to raise the bar for the best KRplus content with every single video he creates

You guys are geniuses! What a fun and yes sometimes terrifying time for the squirrels. Thanks for sharing!

Best laugh I've had in a long time. Thanks for your time and efforts

It’s so wholesome and really comes to show that squirrels have a LOT of personality

Next episode: This is the Lock Picking Squirrel, and today we will be checking out the walnut safe lock... Ok folks, as you can see, this wasn't a very tough nut to crack.

Aaaaa, my goodness, I watched it really excitingly. This is the funnest video I've watched

6:38 huh I wonder why he didn’t pick no….

A live stream of those squirrels could become the most watched thing on youtube. They are so incredible.

What he hasn't told us is that he's secretly training a force of squirrels to take over the world.

Never thought id binge watch and enjoy squirrels solving maze

16.41 very enjoyable and intensely fascinating minutes! Squirrels rock! We don’t have ‘‘em here in Australia, sadly.

2:09 "They were using the houses to relax or to stretch or to look out the window or like uhh.... to wrestle?"
*cha cha real smooth*

All of Mark's content are examples of why the internet exists. Thank you so much Mark.

This was awesome!!! I love how they problem solve ❤

Mark I want you to know that your squirrel videos are the best thing on the entire internet and also in my life and they bring me unmeasurable joy

I think after 4 seasons, phat guss will start taking a class in Mark Rober monthly classes.

Why am I emotionally attached to four squirrels living in a random dudes backyard

8:07 i love how you can just hear a faint "HIYAAAH!" from rick

16:13 even squirrel have PTSD

I think it’s amazing that Frank was able to look at the layout of the vents and have a strong enough memory to navigate through the maze on the first try

“They’re using the houses to like umm ‘wrestle’ and stuff”

This is by far the best video on KRplus. Loved it.

I think this just might be one of the best videos on the entire internet!

Basically, Mark is just making his own cinematic universe in his backyard

in a few years the squirrels will be so intelligent that they'll build a maze for Mark

Oh my! I’m totally in love with your squirrels and obstacles in equal measure 😂😂😂😂😂

Little touches like naming the end goal “Fort Knuts” Brilliant

Being a human ❌
Being a squirrel in Mark Rober's community ✔

I just love you squirrel obsticle course keep them coming its neat to see how smart they are!!! Its to bad you could get different breeds for it and have them see which squirrel is the smartest!!!

You sir are a true artist. Phenomenal vision and planning.

the squirrels in Mark's yard are eventually going to surpass human intellect and take over everything
