Agile and carefree, until people are more  happy to invite joking than to hate.Must quickly European brown red squirrel, (Sciurus vulgaris) and American gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is somewhat different with palm squirrels of Asia, namely Callosciurus notatus (coastal areas) and Callosciurus Nigrovittatus (the mountains). If squirrels from Sub Tropical forced to eat pine seeds, palm squirrel island in Asia (Tropical) eating coconuts. Although they do not nest in the palm tree at the top but other, more leafy trees like tamarind trees and bamboo groves for example, but they like to steal coconuts belonged to farmers. Coconut fruit is ripe, if not in quotation quickly, typically will be drilled by squirrels. Drill with front teeth capable of sawing a hole quickly but quietly. After the round window digerek the coconut shell was large enough he went and perforated fruit is considered as the her "cottage".Cocos Nucifera

His house was the former but styled  For the sake of safety, the squirrels often move house. Nest is a lot. For just a shelter, meals, and the rest of the hoard excess food, he wears a woodpecker nest holes in trees. Sort of additional warehouse to steal the day-to-day living. That's different from a nest to give birth and raise children. Stay home to take care of some sort of family. Nests for food storage is never good. But the nest to take care of children, is always made of higher quality. At least that is never observed in the European squirrel, Sciurus vulgaris. The nest is like a private house civilian and military rulers among human beings, usually in the form of former crows nest, which is located junction tree branches and twigs high. This elite area is always cool as a shady, sheltered by dense foliage. Charge of stealing a living finish, squirrels will go to the top to enjoy the cool air with his family.Former home of the crows usually overhauled first to taste.

Anything but tasty and easily transported from another place with a small mouth. The reinforced padded layer on the outside with a small twig in between them so that there is sufficient air layer as temperature insulation. New at the very outside, the walls of the nest once again reinforced by large twigs and coarse that no other animal may be destroyed by the jealous or ignorant. Twigs of the barricades outside the gentlemen also serves as a drying rack for rain water. Nest faces made it cleverly equipped with the entrance hole also. Instead of at the top of which is the roof, but on the side. At night time, the side entrance hole is pretty close to the mother squirrel tail just so warm. On another wall is lower, made the second hole as a back door to escape if there is an uninvited guest who pounded on the front door.Tail blanket The squirrels live solitary, alone and sustain their livelihoods search plots with persistent squirrels plot against another. If anyone would attempt in boundary violation, he will be driven while cursed. Ears, cuss it just sounds as cit .. cit .. and ck .. ck .. Such romp also occur, when the mating season has arrived. Males chase the male (rival) and males chasing a female (her lover). Sometimes a female gang chased by three males, but females are honored squirrels usually bite everything. Only males are filthy shout cit .. cit .. and another pitched ck .. ck are finally given the chance (though bitten too). The romance hunting could walk for hours, but also could be days. After that, they will live together for a few days, but once the squirrel pregnant females, the male squirrel will be expelled from the hive. He will be busy taking care of her baby, and that the average amount can be up to 5 tails. At first it was the 5th child warmed by the body and tail of its mother, but then told the agency, warming themselves with their tails. Later, as an adult the child will use its tail as a balance to the body when walking on unstable branches, twigs swaying, or hovering in the air while jumping move to another tree. After two months of age, young squirrel started told to find their own food, but still remain in the relationship group. While foraging, usually also play, romp, and pretended to fight. Everything was to train so that each would become a clever squirrel jumped up and maintain persistent plot.Source: Eric
