The acorn woodpecker is the only bird that can eat chestnuts and acorns. These birds hide the seeds in the cracks of tree bark. Squirrels will raid the bird's hiding spots and in turn hide the seeds on the ground. Most of the seeds are eventually eaten but a few grow into large chestnut and oak trees.

UN predicts large ozone hole The United Nations' John Miller warns that the
strong South Pole wind which occurs yearly is severe enough to
increase the size of the growing hole in the ozone layer. Measures
to slow ozone damage have been taken, but if damage continues as it
has been doing, exposure to radiation, especially in South America,
is possible. 8 SEPTEMBER 1998
