But what if the squirrels battled each other?

Welcome to The Backyard Squirrelympics 3.0 -- The Summer Games [23m], in which teams of squirrels compete with each other for the Walnut Cup! Created by Mark Rober, previously, previouslier.
I still love Phat Gus. I seriously don't know how he tells them apart, though, especially since Phat Gus is no longer pregnant and is actually looking quite slim (i.e. they all look around the same size to me now). I wouldn't be able to peg any particular squirrels that hang out with me on my patio. Maybe he can figure it out after watching all that video.
"Hubcap Hills" and "Walnut Estates," LOL. Sure, let's throw some class warfare into the lives of squirrels!

Wait, what was that? A Russian drugging scandal?!?!? I was hoping Phat Gus would win, but not like that....
Seriously, how does he do these things? How does he get 4 regular squirrels to go through all of these things?

I kept hearing Phat Gus in Will Arnett's BoJack Horseman voice: "What am I doing here? This is taking a bad turn. It's literally taking a bad turn. Welp, there I go. F**ck!"

Security needs to get a flier or something on Fat Tail.

Don't all fauna and flora battle each other for resources and territory, or is that just my anthropormorphism flaring up again?

The squirrels, were they “merry” or were they “married”?

I wish I had a bevy of squirrels as pets. They are just so fun.
Sad to see Phat Gus and Augustine got so pwnd. Felt like the judges were in on it or something to make it to the seventh game. Maybe they can come back, though sounds like the sponsor is done.

Even humans do a bunch of cooperating, so maybe it's a flareup of Malthusomorphism?
