Squirrel information (picture)

Body length is about 22 cm; The back of the body is brown, the abdomen is generally chestnut red, and sometimes even the inside of the limbs is chestnut red; Some individuals only have a red belly line, or even no red at all. The tail is almost as long as the body, the tail hair is dark brown, the tip is light brown, and some individuals have gray-white tails. Red-bellied squirrels are arboreal diurnal animals and are most active in the morning light. Contrary to popular belief, they don't live in tree holes, but weave a spherical nest with branches and leaves hanging high on the treetops. This bird's nest is bigger than a football, and it is filled with soft bark, fibers and other comfortable materials. Both male and female red-bellied squirrels have their own tree nests, sometimes more than one. Naturally, female squirrels also raise their young in their nests, each with two babies, usually one or two a year. Red-bellied squirrels mainly feed on fruits, flowers and leaves of plants, and occasionally eat some animal food. In Taiwan Province Province, it may be due to the felling of trees in low-altitude broad-leaved forest and the large-scale afforestation of Cryptomeria fortunei in the past, and the sudden loss of habitat biodiversity led to the destruction of Cryptomeria fortunei afforestation by squirrels. The bark of a tree is bitten, which can be deformed to death and cause huge losses. Therefore, the red-bellied squirrel was named as a forest pest, which attracted much attention.
