ALL ABOUT SQUIRREL





  • The Indian giant squirrel is three feet long.
  •  Like other rodents, squirrels have four front teeth that never stop growing so they don't wear down from the constant gnawing. ... Ground squirrels eat nuts, leaves, roots, seeds, and other plants.
  •  They also catch and eat small animals, such as insects and caterpillars.
  • .You want to be in a spot that contains nothing but you, trees and squirrels. ... The squirrels will quickly come to recognize who you are so that they do not feel so disturbed by your presence. Observe the behavior of the squirrels.
  • Squirrels are amazing creatures, they can leap 10 times their body length and turn their ankles 180 degrees to face any direction when climbing. They have superb vision, and they learn by quickly copying other animals. ... The most iconic behavior of squirrels is storing nuts and acorns for winter.
  • White pepper and cayenne smells frequently discourage squirrels, for example. If you sprinkle your plants with flakes of cayenne pepper, it might keep unwelcome pests out of your garden. Squirrels also dislike garlic and black pepper smells. Raccoons share this aversion to the smell of pepper.
  • Squirrels are extremely intelligent creatures. They are known to put on elaborate bogus food burying displays to deceive onlookers. ... They also use their tails as a signalling device, twitching it when uneasy to alert other squirrels of potential danger.
  • Acorns, whole roasted pumpkin seeds, and almonds are the healthiest, followed by hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, English walnuts, pecans, pistachios, and peanuts, in that order. Avoid: Cashews, sunflower seeds, dried corn, pine nuts (will cause severe calcium loss).
