	Fox Squirrel
		Fox Squirrels seem to be more comfortable with habitat where the trees are farther apart, and so are better adapted for the prairie.
		Squirrels are members of the highly successful rodent family, which includes members ranging in size from tiny mice to the South American Capabara, which is as big as a large dog.
		Squirrels are also fond of the seeds found in the fruit of Osage Orange trees.

	Squirrel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Squirrels are generally clever and persistent animals; in residential neighborhoods they are notorious for eating out of bird feeders, digging in potted plants either to bury or recover food, and for setting up house in sheltered areas including attics.
		Squirrels are sometimes also pests because they chew on various edible and inedible objects; the habit helps keep the squirrel's teeth sharp and also wears the teeth down (rodents' teeth grow continuously).
		The squirrel is the mascot for the sorority Alpha Gamma Delta.
