Field Notes

Description:

Squirrels are normally small animals, ranging in size anywhere from 7-10 cm to 53-73 cm. They typically have slender bodies with large eyes and bushy tails. Squirrel's fur is soft and silky and their color depends on where they are. Even though squirrels can often be evil, they help the world go round.
