Could it be possible? Consider if this type of environmental pressure (hostile environment and predators) is sustained over time, would the results would turn squirrels from solitary creatures to a more social one in behavior and function (eg. Hyenas hunting in packs, ant colonies.) Over course of time would this have an impact on the species DNA?

No video + story from Russia = didn't happen.

Probably a dog died on a pile of nuts, couple of squirrels gathered nuts, drunk Russkie witnessed it and the telephone game ensued. The squirrels will never get to rise up to overthrow humanity, the machines or the insects will beat them to it.
