Woodland Facts About Squirrels and Acorns

Squirrels often gather and bury nuts in many separate hiding places, returning to some of them later. Forgotten acorns can sometimes sprout and grow into young oak trees, so the animals may accidentally help a woodland renew itself. An acorn is the fruit of an oak and carries a seed beneath its tough outer shell.

Natural Colors of the Woodland Theme

  • Squirrel fur: reddish brown, chestnut, gray, or dark brown
  • Squirrel belly: cream, pale gray, or light tan
  • Acorn nut: tan to rich brown
  • Acorn cap: textured brown or gray-brown
  • Oak woodland floor: earthy brown, muted green, and golden tan
Questions and answers

Questions and Answers

Why do squirrels bury acorns?
They store food underground so they can return to it when fresh food is harder to find. Their strong sense of smell helps them locate many hidden nuts.
Do squirrels eat every acorn they collect?
No. Some caches are forgotten or left untouched, and those acorns may become food for other animals or begin to grow.
What grows from an acorn?
An acorn can develop into an oak seedling when it reaches suitable soil and receives enough moisture. Over time, a healthy seedling may become a mature oak tree.
