Wild Squirrel in the House

Watch Free Wild Squirrel in the House Video Clip:

Squirrels are cute little animals we can usually see leaping from branch to branch, and from tree-top to tree-top. Their tail is very large and bushy, and ears are small and upright, tufted with brownish gray hair. Their fore-paws are just like little hands. When they hold the nut in them and nibble them, they look like a little monkeys. The hind limbs are longer than the fore limbs, and they have either four or five toes on each paw. The paws, which include an often poorly developed thumb, have soft pads on the undersides and versatile, sturdy claws for grasping and climbing.

Their teeth are almost exactly like rabbits teeth. They are chisel-shaped, and seem to be very sharp. Squirrels belong to the family Sciuridae, a family that includes small or medium-size rodents. The squirrel family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots (including groundhogs), flying squirrels, and prairie dogs amongst other rodents.
