The Squirrel's Appearance
The Squirrel's appearance is a unique appearance. They are famous for their outstandingly cute psychical features. They have really bushy and fluffy big tails that are used for many things. When they jump down from trees, their tails help them keep their balance. Without those tails, they would fall down and get injured or die. Squirrels usually live in big oaks, so it would be a hard fall. Few animals have a tail with so many uses. The squirrel is the chatterbox of the woods and with flicks of its tail it punctuates all that it has to say. Also, their tails can fall off by getting tugged hard or bit off by a predator. They can live without a tail but, it would be a large disadvantage. Their eyesight is incredible for such a small, glassy eyed creature. Squirrels have dichromatic color vision. They distinguish color much like humans with red-green color blindness. This means they differentiate red or green from other colors, but they can't see the difference between red and green next to each other. Ground and tree squirrels have yellow-tinted lenses that act like sun glasses in bright light which can be very helpful. Flying squirrels don't have tinted lenses because they are primarily nocturnal and ground and tree squirrels aren't nocturnal. Squirrels have big teeth, another thing they are famous for. Like other rodents, squirrels have four large front teeth that never stop growing, so they don't wear down from constant gnawing and chewing. Aren't these animals amazing?
