SQUIRRELS

Squirels are exciting. In the summer,they run around right after the sun comes up. In the afternoon,squirels go back to their nests. They take naps. Two hours before the sun goes down, they get up anhs run around again. When it is dark outside at night,they stay inside their nests.

Squirels are busiest of all in the wintertime.They run fast. They make turns in the air.Squirels jump from tree branch to tree branch . They run all morning until lunch. After lunch, they go back to their nests to rest again. When the weather is bad,they do not leave their nests.However. they do not hibernate,or sleep on winter.

Squirels have eyes on the top of their heads. These eyes help them to see objects without having to turn their heads. These eyes are difficult,too.They make it hard fo the squirel when it's eating. The squirrel's eyes are busy watching for enemies or danger. They do not pay attention to what they are eating because they are so busy watching for danger.

Male squirrels make themselves very clean. The male squirrels cleans himself more times than the female squirrel. He keeps cleaning himself all they long.

Be careful when you play in the park. Squirrels are beautiful to watch, but they are not safe to touch. If you try and feed one from your hand,you could get bitten. Enjoy them from a distance.
