Squirrels eat seeds, berries, nuts, and insects.

Squirrels sometimes eat fruit if needing to supplement their diet.

Squirrels have an excellent sense of smell that allows them to detect the scent of other squirrels.

Squirrels rely on their sense of smell to find the caches in which they hoard their food.

Squirrels spend up to 60% of their day asleep.
