What the Squirrel Collecting an Acorn Is Doing
The squirrel occupies the center of the scene with its fluffy tail curled behind its body and an acorn held close to its chest. It rests on the flat top of a cut stump beside the large trunk of another tree. Leaves and woodland shrubs appear farther back, placing the animal in a sheltered forest habitat.
Interesting Facts About Squirrels and Stored Food
Many squirrels bury acorns and other food in separate hiding places to save them for later. They use their strong sense of smell and their memory of the surrounding landscape to relocate some of these stores. Forgotten acorns may sprout, so this behavior can also help new trees grow.
