Squirrels

       Squirrels are tree farmers. They do this by burying an acorn and wait for it to grow. Squirrels also bury their acorns for food supply. In the winter, there is no food so squirrels find the spot they buried acorns and feed on that. Squirrels have a good memory so they remember exactly the spot!
Traveling
     Squirrels can climb straight up and straight down. They can travel long distances from tree to tree. Squirrels can jump 6 feet across from a tree. Squirrels are fast; they can sprint up and down a tree.
Species
     Their are many different types of squirrels. There are red squirrels, grey squirrels, flying squirrels, ground squirrels etc. There are more than 200 squirrel species all over the world. The most common squirrel is the tree squirrel.
Food
    Squirrels are omnivores which mean they eat meat and plants. Squirrels eat nuts, leaves, roots, seeds, acorns and other plants. Squirrels also eat caterpillars and insects.
