Squirrels are generally small animals, ranging in size from the African pygmy squirrel at 7–10 cm (2.8–3.9 in) in length and just 10 g (0.35 oz) in weight, to the Alpine marmot, which is 53–73 cm (21–29 in) long and weighs from 5 to 8 kg (11 to 18 lb). Squirrels typically have slender bodies with bushy tails and large eyes. In general, their fur is soft and silky, although much thicker in some species than others. The colour of squirrels is highly variable between—and often even within—species.
In general, the hind limbs are longer than the fore limbs, and they have four or five toes on each paw. Their paws include a poorly developed thumb, and have soft pads on the undersides. Squirrels live in almost every habitat from tropical rainforest to semiarid desert, avoiding only the high Polar Regions and the driest of deserts. They are predominantly herbivorous, subsisting on seeds and nuts, but many eat insects and even small vertebrates.
As their large eyes indicate, squirrels have an excellent sense of vision, which is especially important for tree-dwelling species.

Most squirrels die in the first year of their life. Adult squirrels can have a lifespan of 5 to 10 years in the wild. Some can survive up to 20 years in captivity.
Squirrels breed once or twice in a year and give birth to a varying number of young after a gestation period of three to six weeks, depending on species.

True Bhakt of Sri Ram?

How I met Sri Ram

Sri Ram wanted to cross the bridge to Lanka in order to save Sita from Ravana”s clutches. He sat down to pray to the Sea God. The Sea God, Samudra, arose from the depths of the sea and told Sri Ram to build a bridge across the sea.
All the monkeys got busy building the bridge by placing boulders. A tiny squirrel was watching everything from its burrow. The squirrel also desired to do something by way of ‘Ramaseva’ . It hit upon a novel way. It jumped into the sea, and dashed to the beach dripping wet and rolled on the sands. Its wet hairy body picked up sand particles. The squirrel then ran onto the ‘Ramasetu’, shook its body there which dropped the sand particles on it. Thus the squirrel kept dashing into the sea, getting drenched, rolling on the sand on the beach, and dashing onto the ‘Ramasetu’ to deposit the sand by shaking its body. This it did repeatedly.
Sri Ram was observing this from a distance. He was extremely pleased to see the love and devotion that such a tiny animal had for Him. He walked up to the squirrel. Picking it up on his palm he warmly stroked the squirrel’s back with his three fingers. Since then, it is believed that squirrels have three lines on their body.
“Even animals come forward to offer help to those who tread on the virtuous path. From those who are on wicked ways, even brothers run away!”                         —Aniket Raja
