	Squirrel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Black squirrels, appearing to be identical to the red squirrels in the area, are also fairly common in some communities in southwestern Iowa, with a large population of fl squirrels in Council Bluffs, Iowa.
		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 them down (many rodents' teeth grow continuously).
		The squirrel is the mascot for the sorority Alpha Gamma Delta.
