Some Squirrels are heartless predators that eat meat says learn about

If you have been considering squirrels as only a vegetarian creature, then this news can surprise you. Squirrels are considered to be a living organism living on trees and eating fruit-seeds. But do you know that squirrels also eat meat? Yes, squirrels living on the ground in California also prey mice -like -looking creatures Vole. They kill them and eat them! This is quite shocking because such an incident has come in records for the first time.

For the first time in a squirrel species, it is seen when she is seen hunting for living vertebrates. The study is published in the magazine of ethology. It describes how these squirrels changed with the changing environment. It has also changed with the growing population of local wole (Vole is a kind of mushroom).

Vol population has been found to be increased in many parts of northern California. Vols for squirrels are now available as their food. Traditionally, the ground squirrels of California are either vegetarian or is annactive. But now they have started hunting the wole. This shows that they are also changing their habits with the changing environment.

According to the study’s head Author Jennifer Smith, it is about to change the perception of research squirrels. Squirrels are known as the most familiar mammals in the world. But these animals have proved to be quite flexible nature and also have the ability to adapt themselves to stay alive in a rapidly changing world. Smith said that changing the habits based on the availability of food in this way gives a big indication. The indication is that just like them, other organisms on the earth can change their food habits according to the changing circumstances. Therefore, the squirrels can also be estimated to be the future behavior of other species through this research.
