Squirrels are furry, bright, lively little animals that are very busy. Squirrels begin being busy in early morning. They leave their nests and burrows to start searching for food. Quietly they hunt for their favorite nuts and acorns, seeds, plants, blossoms, grasses, and insects.
Squirrels live on all continents of the world, except Australia and Antarctica.
America has millions of squirrels, in almost every region of every state. They are found from high mountains to seashores, in forests, fields, deserts, and meadows, by roads, rivers, canals, and streams. Wherever you live, squirrels are probably nearby. The most common squirrels are those that live in trees. And you know that's not right.
