Just Curious.

There was a little news report about scientists growing plants from 300,000-year-old seeds ‘that had been buried in the permafrost by squirrels.’ Three questions:

How do they know it was squirrels that buried them?

How does anything bury anything in permafrost?

Does this cast doubt on the ‘use by’ date on seed packets?
