So in case you were unaware before, you are hereby notified to be aware. Here are some squirrel facts:
1.They are omnivores and their diets require an intake of salt.
2.Their 4” incisors can grow an average of 6” per year but their diet of nuts and so on keep them filed down.
3.They instinctively run in a zig-zag pattern to evade predators.
4.More then 200 species exist worldwide and they survivors, so they are not going away in the foreseeable future.
