Every garden has some little friends that enliven the whole space. Yes, we are talking about squirrels. These little creatures are not only adorable but are also responsible for the growth of many new seedlings that grow into giant trees.
Did you know that squirrels can find buried food even under snow? Yes, these creatures are famous for making the impossible possible. By this, we mean that some squirrel species are capable of finding food scents covered by even a foot of snow. Following their sense of smell, the squirrels then dig a tunnel to find food particles. It’s no surprise that squirrels are hard-working creatures.
Have you ever noticed a squirrel’s cute front teeth? An interesting fact to note is that these teeth never stop growing.
Here’s another interesting fact. Squirrels steal each other’s food. Well, squirrels spread their food everywhere and then bury it in different places underground. Now, it becomes difficult for them to keep an eye on all the buried food. Other squirrels take advantage of this and steal hidden food.
What is a squirrel’s escape strategy? Well, nature has created these animals to be very delicate, and therefore, these cute little animals fall prey to predators quite easily. Well, these creatures may not have a strong body or great physical strength, but they certainly have a sharp mind. By this, we mean that squirrels run in a zigzag pattern while escaping predators. This technique is quite clever as it confuses the predator. However, squirrels not only lose their lives to wild predators but also to reckless car drivers. Therefore, it is our moral responsibility to drive mindfully!
Didn’t we tell you that squirrels often lose their food to squirrel thieves? Well, to avoid having their food stolen, they engage in deceptive fishing, meaning they pretend to bury a grain of food like a nut to fool potential thieves! You read that right. Isn’t the strategy to chase away food thieves both extremely clever and extremely adorable?
