Why are squirrels so adaptable?
Squirrels are very clever animals in the animal kingdom. Although it is very small, it has a big furry tail, which is very cute. Squirrel is a good tree climber. No matter how tall the tree is, it can come and go freely. It often plays in trees, often jumps from one branch to another, from one tree to another, jumps up and down, runs left and right, and can shuttle freely, which makes people envious.

Why can squirrels jump freely on trees? Why didn't it step empty and fall to the ground? You may not understand the mystery. In fact, one of the reasons is that the squirrel's hind legs are strong and good at jumping, but the most important thing is that it has a long and big tail. When the squirrel jumps into the tree, it uses its powerful hind legs to make its body soar. In the air, its tail kept its balance and then landed firmly on the branch without any mistakes. It can be seen that the tail plays an important role in the squirrel jumping process. If the squirrel loses the balance function of its tail, it can't jump freely in the air and even lose the ability to live in a tree.

The squirrel's tail not only has the function of balance, but also keeps warm. When winter comes, squirrels will grow thick winter hair and thick hair on their tails. In the cold winter, it often wraps its head tightly with a big tail covered with winter hair and rolls into a ball to resist the cold weather.

Squirrel's tail can also be used to send messages. When it wants to express its thoughts to its partners, it always wags its tail and jumps around.
