Squirrels are small mammals in the rodent family, characterized by their bushy tails and slender bodies. They can live in almost every habitat from rainforests to semi-arid deserts. Tree squirrels, which are the most familiar type, predominantly eat seeds, leaves, berries, flowers, and nuts, but will also eat some insects. Depending on the species they may also actually consume tree bark and a few eat bird eggs. Because they are tree dwelling they have very good vision, which is why they are so capable of breathtaking acrobatics during mating season in the late winter and early spring.

Like other rodents, squirrels have elongated incisors that never stop growing so they have to gnaw constantly to keep them in check - they will chew tree branches, but also your lawn furniture and sometimes even your house. In places with large squirrel populations they can be quite destructive because of this. Unsuspecting gardeners are also apt to plant things that squirrels find delectable, which just attracts more and more of these animals.
