Lovely Animal Squirrel - A Young Squirrel Stock Photography

The animal squirrel is a small, quick and friendly mammal. It is commonly found in wooded areas and suburban backyards, and has a distinctive furry tail. Squirrels are most active during the day, and they eat small amounts of nuts and seeds, as well as fruits and insects. They use their front paws to collect food, and their back legs to help them jump from tree to tree. Squirrels make their homes in hollow trees and leaf-lined nests, and have been known to be playful and friendly with humans.
