Nuts About Squirrels

Even in our most urban settings, pretty much all of us know squirrels. They can be divisive characters; some people adore them, offering them food, while others see them as glorified rats. But we can all agree that these are speedy, quirky, and exceptional characters. They also go crazy for nuts.

They’ve conquered most of the globe, from icy tundra to the hottest deserts, developing ingenious life skills along the way, from stashing nuts to fighting snakes. Whatever your view, squirrels are heroic, and about as varied as they are enigmatic. Their distribution across the world proves them to be some of the most successful animals on the planet. But the squirrels themselves don’t care much about this – they’re far too preoccupied with going nuts about nuts! Learn just a little more about them and you too will go nuts for squirrels.
