Squirrels are in abundance around our house these days. I must admit I am partial to the white squirrels rather than the grey fox squirrels but their antics are always amusing. They have a determination when it comes to bird feeders and I have to admit I have left feeders empty more times than not lately due to them cleaning them out.
This type of squirrel is okay with me. Fake squirrels on a teapot do not frustrate me. These guys are pretty cute, aren’t they?
How about a few squirrel facts today?
Squirrels can find their food burned beneath a foot of snow.
Newborn squirrels are an inch long.
A squirrel’s front teeth never stop growing.
Squirrels may lose 25% of their buried food to thieves such as other squirrels or birds.
They run zigzag like to avoid predators.
And just like me – they get bulky to stay warm in the winter.
Your squirrel facts for the day brought to you by the internet. Why not go enjoy a cup of tea now – you deserve it.

Adorable. And thanks for the squirrel facts. I know they are mostly a nuisance but I love watching them play and run up and down the trees around our house. They love to tease Audrey when we are out on walks and it’s pretty funny. I have some cute photos of them holding the nuts that fall from the trees and nibbling on those.
Squirrels can be annoying, but I enjoy watching them. Of course, it’s easy for me to say that since we rarely see a squirrel in our yard.
Well, I just learned a whole lot more about squirrels. I always wonder how they manage to jump from branch to branch, etc. without losing their footing and falling.
That is a perfect teapot for you, Beth Ann. Interesting facts I did not know. Thanks for sharing.
White squirrels I’d like to see. We used to have red squirrels; they’ve been edged out by gray, as in most places. In Maryland there were the famous black ones. I’ve never seen a white squirrel though.
