Squirrels are small, agile animals known for their adorable appearance and food-storing habits. They are part of the rodent family, and there are over 200 species of squirrels worldwide, including tree squirrels, ground squirrels, and flying squirrels.
- Food Storage: Squirrels have an incredible ability to remember where they buried their nuts. They store food in various locations to survive through the winter when food is scarce.
- Communication: Although it may not seem like it, squirrels communicate with each other through sounds and tail movements, alerting other squirrels to potential dangers or finding a mate.
- Flying Squirrels: Some species of squirrels, known as flying squirrels, have membranes between their legs that allow them to glide from tree to tree, although they don’t fly like birds.
