There are several species of squirrels and what kind of squirrels are

Squirrels are mammals, squirrels, belonging to the rodent order Squirrel family, generally referring to a large group of rodents with fluffy long hairs on their tails, there are about 58 genera and 285 species. It is mainly distributed in coniferous forests or mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests composed of Pinus, Larch and Spruce species. Due to the relative abundance and stability of food**, squirrels can maintain high population densities in mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests.

There are many species of squirrels, such as the giant squirrel is a second-class protected animal in China, listed in the IUCN Red List: near threatened, forbidden to be raised in captivity, while other squirrels can currently be raised in captivity, not belonging to the national protected animals.

Related Notes:Contrary to most people's impressions, the tree-dwelling, large, furry-tailed, pinecone-holding squirrel is actually a small branch of the squirrel family. From snow-capped mountains at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters to tropical islands in the Pacific Ocean, from the Western Hemisphere to the Eastern Hemisphere, except for areas with extremely harsh climates and extremely simple vegetation near the polar regions or the driest deserts, squirrel species are active in various terrestrial habitats, and some also play an extremely important role in the ecosystem.

Squirrels are mainly found in coniferous or mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests composed of Pinus, Larix and Picea species. Due to the relative abundance and stability of food**, squirrels can maintain high population densities in mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, and can use small woodlands in suburban or even urban areas to become companion animals.

Squirrels are a class of small mammals with more than 200 different species worldwide. Here are some common early squirrel species:

1.Red Squirrel: Found in the forests of Europe, Asia, and North America, it is medium in size and mostly reddish-brown on the back.

2.Gray Squirrel: Widely distributed in the forests of North America, Europe, and Asia, it is large and has a gray coat.

3.Tree squirrels: include many subspecies and variants, which are widely distributed, such as gray tree squirrels, green tree squirrels, etc.

4.Brown squirrel: Native to North America, it was introduced to other regions, such as Europe, etc. It is large and has a dark brown coat.

5.Chipmunks: Found mainly in North America and Asia, they are medium in size with a patterned back and a long tail.

6.Squirrel of the Japanese Dust Squirrel: Found only in Japan, it has several subspecies, is small in size, and has a variety of coat colors.

These are just some of the common squirrel species, there are many other different species of squirrel sparrows scattered around the world, and they also have some differences in size, habits, and appearance.

Demon King Squirrel. Demon King Squirrels can be divided into Black Lord, Red Devil, and Three-color Demon King according to their coat color. The ears and tail of the demon squirrel have particularly long hairs and can adapt to life in trees; They use claws and tails like long hooks to hang upside down from tree branches.

Its body length is about 18-26 cm, and its tail is long and thick, with a tail length of more than two-thirds of its body length, but not as long as its length. (The one with a pinch of hair on his ears is the Demon King!) The Demon King Squirrel eats fruits, seeds, meat, etc., and will eat bird eggs during the breeding period.

It's a very docile little guy to the owner, don't bully it!

ps: The snow squirrel is actually a kind of demon squirrel (just look at the ears), but the coat color is rare so it is very precious.

Three-colored squirrel. Native to the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra, the three-color squirrel is a medium-sized squirrel that inhabits tropical rainforests. They are about 20 centimeters long and 15 centimeters long, black from the top of their head to their back until their tail, with stripes of white markings on the sides of their bodies, and yellowish-brown on their forelimbs and belly.

Among the squirrels with a generally simple and monotonous coat, it is one of the more ornate.

Ezo squirrel. Distributed in Hokkaido, Japan, the Ezo squirrel is a subspecies of the Japanese squirrel found south of Honshu, Japan, and is slightly larger than the Japanese squirrel. The Ezo squirrel is about 25 cm long and has a tail length of about 20 cm; In winter, the back is gray, the belly is white, and the ears are hairy; In summer, the whole body is pale reddish-brown, and the ears have no hair.

There are three common species of squirrels:

1.Red-bellied squirrel.

2.Long-snouted squirrel.

3.Rock pine rents Sun rats.

Squirrel habits:

Red-bellied squirrels mainly inhabit dense forests, their living habits are somewhat similar to those of gray squirrels, they like to be active in the morning and dusk, and their feeding habits are mainly based on eating various nuts, such as pine cones, chestnuts and berries, and they also eat all kinds of leaves, twigs, flower buds and bird eggs, chicks and insects. It can be bred twice a year, and each time it produces 3 4 litters, with 2 litters being the majority.

Long-snouted squirrels generally live in dense forests, and their habits are not much different from those of ordinary squirrels, but they are not completely arboreal, and often forage on the ground, fallen trees and grass piles, and are most active in the morning and dusk.

Rock squirrels inhabit rocky areas in mountainous areas, and although they can climb trees, they mainly live among rocks, and usually nest in rock crevices. Rock squirrels are active during the day and mainly feed on wild fruits or plant seeds, such as nuts, walnuts, apricots, etc., but sometimes they also eat crops, and are a pest of mountain forests.
