What are squirrels most talented at doing?
Tree squirrels run fast and jump long distances on tiny branches high up in trees. Ground squirrels dig long tunnels very fast. Many squirrels chatter and use their tails to communicate a complex language. All squirrels have very sharp teeth and flexible front paws — and are very smart about opening containers and solving other food-related challenges. Squirrels have sensitive hearing. Squirrels have big eyes that see very well — but they are on the sides of their heads, so they don’t see what’s at the tip of their nose. That’s one reason it can be dangerous to feed a squirrel — it can’t see your fingers and might accidentally bit you if you get too close.
