There are several species of animals, well known to most citizens and residents of rural areas. These include a cute long-tailed animal - a squirrel.
It can be found except in the forest and in the city park, and even in the courtyard of any private sector.
A surprisingly cute little animal, very curious in its habits - it's a squirrel. Interesting facts, characteristic of this animal, are associated with various moments of his life.
They are smart, mobile and fast.Communicate with each other, as studies have shown, with the help of a peep and certain movements of the tail. Wool on the tail can reach a length of up to 3 cm, which makes it appear fluffy.
The head of the squirrel is rounded, with black round eyes. Long ears with tassels on top of the head. Hind legs slightly longer than front. The fingers have sharp claws.
In the summer period, brownish and red are predominant in the color of the animal, in the winter - gray and black, with small brownish hues.
The body length of the squirrel is from 12.5 to 28 centimeters, the tail - from 19 to 30 centimeters. Usual protein weighs about 300 grams.
It is for its appearance and mischievous habits that the protein is one of the favorite animal animals.
Due to the fact that the protein is constantly growingfront 4 teeth, they have something to eat all the time. In this way they "grind" too overgrown teeth. If they grow heavily, the squirrels will not be able to eat properly, as teeth will not be able to prick. The fate of such proteins ends with their death from hunger.
The most interesting facts about proteins are discussed below.
Around the world, there are about 200 species of protein. They live on all continents, except Australia and Antarctica.
These species are divided into three main groups:
A squirrel protein has from 2 to 8 cubs.Bitters are born blind, naked and deaf. A week later, wool grows up, and another eye opens. Under the care of the mother, babies are about 10-12 weeks, during which infants are taught the rules of behavior.
Proteins have a basic diet.These are nuts, seeds, berries, roots, bark, leaves, caterpillars, flowers, corn and so on. Among all these types of food, seeds of coniferous plants predominate: pine, fir, spruce, Siberian cedar and larch.
Interesting facts about protein can be seen by watching them in the city park or on the plot.
Proteins can also eat "animal" food, for example, bird eggs, small rodents and lizards.
During the winter period, proteins arrange for themselves and the offspring the food reserves, but often it happens that they forget the location of many "warehouses". But stocks are fed by many animals and birds.
Squirrel is a resident of the forest.Due to the fact that this animal usually feeds on the seeds of trees, it lives mainly in mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests. They can also live in spruce forests, cedar forests, less often in deciduous forests and mixed pine forests.
Everywhere finds a way out of the position of the protein. Interesting facts about these animals can be replenished and the fact that in the Caucasus and Crimea they have mastered even vineyards and gardens.
The animal is very lively and agile, able to leap adroitly from tree to tree with the help of a tail serving as a helm.
In winter, the ordinary squirrel tries to move only along the tops of the trees, where it hides in case of danger.
Territorial instinct in proteins is rather weak, that is, there is no division of the territory into plots.
Vaults are built only on trees.In the deciduous forests the squirrel lives in a hollow, laying a soft litter of leaves, grass and lichens. The nest usually ranges in diameter from five to thirty centimeters. Ordinary squirrel can take and a standard birdhouse.
Usually the animal starts a few nests and every couple of days changes its shelter. So he is saved from various parasites. His mother carries his babies from place to place in the teeth.
The article already mentioned interesting facts about proteins, but the following information is more curious and fascinating.
All the above interesting facts about proteins speak about the originality of this little cute little animal. Let's look at another amazing view.
The flying squirrel is different from the known proteincolor of wool. It has a beautiful silvery-gray hue. A long, very fluffy tail (about 14 cm) is the most important device. There are no brushes on her ears. The huge eyes are black.
The body of the fly is flat and there is a skin fold between the hind legs and the front legs. It is a flying web, allowing the fly to move easily between trees.
The tail of the squirrel serves as a device directing its movement. Well dispersed, it overcomes the distance to 100 meters in just one jump. Hence its name also went.
The flying squirrel is usually active at night and longer timeher life she lives on trees. Inhabit these unusual animals in the northern and middle parts of Russia. Outside the country they are found in Northern Scandinavia, Mongolia, Finland, China and Korea.
Endless interesting facts about proteins.It is curious that in the Eastern Siberia there were trips of considerable groups of these animals in search of food in the forests. Sometimes these protein masses are stretched for many kilometers. At the same time, they are not stopped even in the way by the rivers, which they easily swim, ridiculously raising their lovely fluffy tails.
