"Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes."

This adorable squirrel was on the tree right outside my window!



Squirrel's belong to the order "Rodentia."

There are over 365 species of squirrels.

A baby squirrel weighs approximately one ounce at birth, and is about one inch long.

A squirrel's brain is about the size of a walnut.

The average adult squirrel needs to eat about a pound of food a week to maintain an active life.

A squirrel nest is called a dray.

The male tree squirrel takes twice as long, as the female, to groom itself.

Special thanks to www.squirrels.org for some of these facts!
