What is a Squirrel?
Squirrels are small, agile mammals known for their fluffy tails and quick movements. They live in forests, parks, and even backyards, where they build nests in trees and love to collect nuts like acorns. There are many kinds of squirrels, and while most are tree dwellers, some live on the ground or even glide from branch to branch. Squirrels can live up to 6 to 12 years in the wild, depending on the species. They weigh less than a kilogram, with soft, dense fur that keeps them warm. Squirrels make a variety of sounds, like chirps and chatters, especially when they’re excited or warning others. They eat seeds, fruits, nuts, mushrooms, and sometimes even insects. Squirrels play an important role in spreading seeds, which helps new trees grow in forests and woodlands.
