Hi! You are on my user page.
I am a squirrel that lives in an oak tree. In a park. By the big roller coaster. The one that goes up and over and around...
10 things you need to know about squirrels
1. Squirrels can fall from a height of 30 feet without hurting themselves. They use their tail for balance and as a parachute!
2. Squirrels plant thousands of new trees each year because they forget where they buried their acorns.
3. Squirrels can run up to 20 miles per hour when they're in a hurry.
4. A squirrel's teeth never stop growing. They keep them worn down by gnawing on nuts and tree bark.
5. Squirrels can find food buried beneath a foot of snow.
6. In the winter, squirrels may spend a week at a time sleeping.
7. Squirrels often pretend to bury nuts to trick potential thieves, like other squirrels or birds, into thinking that they have stored their food stock there.
8. Some squirrels organize their nuts by type, size, and taste.
9. Squirrels will adopt other squirrel's babies if they are abandoned.
10. A squirrel can jump a distance of up to 20 feet.
My Day
A typical day for me involves a lot of running around. I start my day by searching for food, preferably acorns, which I sometimes bury for later. After that, it's playtime with my friends, followed by a good rest in my cozy tree hole.
