Answer 1

where I live in Kentucky we have we have squirrels every where in the trees behind my house you can set on the porch and watch them for hours, run and play, up and down the trees, carrying nuts to their nests.

Answer 2

Squirrel is the common name for rodents of the family Sciuridae (from Greek skia "shadow" and oura "tail"; "tail that casts a shadow"). In everyday speech in the English-speaking world, it usually refers to members of the genera Sciurus and Tamiasciurus. These typical members of the family are tree squirrels with large bushy tails, and are indigenous to Europe, Asia and the Americas. Similar genera are found in Africa. However, the Sciuridae also include flying squirrels, and ground squirrels such as the chipmunks, prairie dogs, and woodchucks. The unrelated family Anomaluridae also have "squirrel" in their common name, though they are usually referred to as "scaly-tailed flying squirrels". The word squirrel comes from the Old French esqurial, which itself comes from the Vulgar Latin word scuriolus (squirrel). The pronunciation of this animal's name varies. The British way uses a short "i". The American pronunciation can rhyme either with "curl" or with "Merril", variating reigonally.

Answer 3

They're nice but forgetful. They don't care for Cheetos as much as most other snacks. Hanging upside down to get at bird feeders is great for their spines, but they'd still prefer Dunkin Donuts on the driveway. If their nest falls down in a snowstorm you'll see an explosion of grumpy half- asleep squirrels pour out like circus clowns from a miniature car.

Answer 4

Squirrels are nuts. Sorry had to say that. Actually if you leave them alone they won't bother you. One was making all kinds of noise when my dog was by the tree it was in.

Answer 5

The only good squirrel is a dead squirrel.

Answer 6
