HUNGRY SQUIRREL
This squirrel was certainly hungry! It has a lovely coat of grey and red which we do not see very often on our grounds.
Fun facts:
Grey squirrels are agile climbers with impressive memory and problem-solving skills. They have adapted to urban environments, thriving in parks, gardens, and even city streets.
Grey squirrels have soft, thick fur that is primarily grey in color. However, they may also have variations of brown, black, or even reddish fur.
Grey squirrels possess remarkable spatial memory skills. They can recall the location of several food stashes, buried acorns, and hiding spots, even months after burying them.
Grey squirrels have a diverse diet that includes nuts, seeds, fruits, berries, fungi, and even bird eggs. They are known to bury food for later consumption.
Grey squirrels communicate through various vocalizations, including barks, chatters, and clicks. Each sound serves a different purpose, such as warning other squirrels of potential danger or signaling their dominance.
