Species Of Squirrel's
There are several species of squirrel's. Let's discuss some of them:
Grey Squirrel
Like other squirrel's grey squirrel play an important role in seed dispersal. They forage for nut's, seed's, bud's and flower of tree's. As winter approach's they carry their food and burry them in several location's but some time they forget exact location. They also have small memory. They have ability to access a broader range of food source's including bark of UK broad leave trees. This causes significant damage to the tree's but can't understood this reaction. They can leap 10 time their body length and turn their ankle's 180 degree to climb on branch's.
Red Squirrel
Red squirrel are known for their, orange-red fur, from wheaten through ginger to dark brown. Their fur colour will change in winter, and when their characteristic ear tuft's will develop. They have large bushy tail but smaller in size then grey squirrel. They have large ear tuft's. They live in very large trees. They were found in Europe and Northern Asia. This specie also found in China, Russia and Magnolia.
Black Squirrel
The genetics of black squirrel's are straight forward, the reason behind the prevalence of black fur is not fully understood. Some scientists believe that their black fur may offer a thermal advantage in colder areas, because black fur can absorb more heat from sun light. In some religion's black squirrel's are considered as good luck. They were mostly found in united state's.
White Squirrel
White squirrel is one of the most attractive and charming creature. They have unique red red eye's which create more beauty in their white fur.
