Photographer's moment

When it comes to squirrels, people always associate them with the word cute. Squirrels belong to a family of mammals, and a long furry tail is an obvious appearance feature of squirrels. There are many kinds of squirrels, including nearly 35 genera and 2 12 species in the world, and 24 species in China, including rock squirrels endemic to China and lateral striped rock squirrels.

Squirrel is a kind of animal that looks very cute. It's not big, and it stands out with a big furry tail. It is an animal that is very popular and loved by girls. Squirrels look small and charming, but their amazing jumping ability is hidden in this small body. Squirrels are experts at climbing trees. No matter how tall the tree is, they can always come and go freely and feel uncomfortable. They often play in trees.

Why are squirrels so good at jumping? The key is the squirrel's powerful hind legs. Of course, the most important thing is the fluffy but extremely cute big tail. When squirrels jump on trees, their powerful hind legs can give them enough reaction to make their bodies fly. The long and big tail can keep the squirrel balanced in the air, complete the jumping action, and let the squirrel land on the branches indiscriminately. This is why squirrels can jump freely on trees without falling to the ground with an empty foot.

Squirrel's tail can not only balance the body, but also keep warm when winter comes. In cold winter, squirrels grow thick hair, and the hair on their tails will be particularly thick. In cold weather, squirrels will wrap their heads tightly with their tails and roll them into balls to resist the cold. So the squirrel's tail is not only beautiful, but also important to the squirrel. Without its tail, it can't shuttle through the Woods and resist the cold in cold weather.
