The tree squirrel is a small rodent commonly found in wooded areas, parks, and gardens. They are known for their bushy tails and agile climbing abilities, which help them navigate trees with ease. Tree squirrels primarily feed on nuts, seeds, fruits, and sometimes insects, storing food for winter months. There are several species of tree squirrels, including the Eastern gray squirrel, Fox squirrel, and Red squirrel. These animals are typically active during the day and are known for their playful behavior. Tree squirrels play an important role in their ecosystems by helping to disperse seeds, which contributes to forest growth.
