Squirrel Appreciation Day is today! The day was created in 2001 by Christy Hargrove, a wildlife rehabilitation specialist living in Asheville, North Carolina. Belonging to the rodent family, squirrels live in just about every habitat. While predominantly herbivores, squirrels can eat insects and even small mammals. Squirrels actually plant trees because they bury seeds and nuts for future meals and then forget about them. The seeds and nuts then sprout to become trees.
