Belka, commonly known as the squirrel, is a small to medium-sized rodent found in various habitats, including forests, parks, and urban areas. They are characterized by their bushy tails, sharp claws, and agile movements, which help them climb trees and gather food. Squirrels primarily feed on nuts, seeds, fruits, and sometimes insects. There are several species of squirrels, including tree squirrels, ground squirrels, and flying squirrels. They play a crucial role in their ecosystems by aiding in seed dispersal, which helps promote forest growth. Squirrels are also known for their playful behavior and social interactions within their groups.
