=== Do you know any cool facts about the squirrel? If not … we’ll tell you! A squirrel grows up to 5 to 36 inches. They are brown. They have big dark eyes, whiskers, tufts of hair on their ears, a long bushy tail, claws on their feet and powerful legs. The ground squirrels hibernate under the ground to keep warm. They also live in the trees. They eat seeds, nuts, leaves, bulbs, roots, mushrooms, insects, worms, eggs, small birds and other small animals. Their enemies are weasels, foxes, hawks, eagles, lynxes, bears and coyotes. Baby squirrels are hairless and blind at birth. Flying squirrels can glide up to 150 feet! Squirrels are cool! ===
