Near the edge of a quiet pine forest, a bushy-tailed squirrel sits atop a wooden fence rail. Holding a firm pine cone between its front paws, the energetic woodland creature pauses during its daily search for forest seeds and nuts.

Wildlife Facts About Tree Squirrels

Tree squirrels spend autumn gathering and storing pine cones, acorns, and seeds to prepare for the cold winter months. A single squirrel can bury thousands of food items each year, unwittingly planting new pine trees when forgotten seeds sprout in spring.

Questions About Forest Animals

How do squirrels locate pine cones and seeds buried underground?
Squirrels rely on an extraordinary sense of smell to detect stored food, even through deep layers of autumn leaves or winter snow cover.
Why do squirrels eat seeds found inside pine cones?
Pine cone seeds are packed with fats and proteins that provide essential energy for woodland wildlife during colder seasons.
How do squirrels use their bushy tails when navigating fence posts?
