SQUIRRELS
The squirrel is one of my favourite
animals. They usually live in temperate forests, on the trees, but you can also
see them in many parks in Europe and North America.
The squirrel is a small mammal. They have got four
short legs, brown fur, small eyes and ears and a long furry tail.
Squirrels are fast, very active, quite
common and very intelligent. A squirrel can climb very tall trees. They can
recognise their home among thousands of trees. They can jump very well. They
collect nuts and hide them in lots of different places. They can recognise
these places in winter to have food. They can also fool other squirrels to protect
their nuts.
They can stand on two legs and
use their hands to open and eat nuts.
I like squirrels
because they are small, nice and very sociable. They get near people in parks
and they are not usually afraid of humans. Some people have them as pets, but I
think this is horrible.
