A squirrel has a bushy tail. how does it help it survive???

plzplz answer!!!A squirrel has a bushy tail. how does it help it survive???
It helps balance as it hops around in the trees. It may also play a part in signaling a mate.A squirrel has a bushy tail. how does it help it survive???
Most squirrels have beautiful bushy tails. But their bushy tails are not just beautiful. A squirrel uses its tail to help it do many things.





To protect it from the sun





To help it balance





To help it tell other animals how it feels





To keep it warm
I agree that the squirrel uses it's tail for warmth but it also uses it as a balancing beam, making it possible for the animal to cross over very narrow wires and branches. This way, it often doesn't have to touch the ground where the predators are.
it makes it so preditors refuse to eat it or vomit uncontrolibly
Balance? And maybe when it curls up to sleep it


keeps itself warm like a blanket!
also, they use their tails to 'scold' other animals -- birds, prey, people, other squirrels -- communicating to 'stay away' from them!
it #1 keeps it warm


#2 blends in to trees n things


#3 can give it balance when it climbs


#4 it uses it to clean its nest [like a broom]


#5 it keeps the babies warm


#6 it attracts a mate


#7 i just made up everyone of those numberssss


hahaha y do u care?


yeaaa...those r pretty good guesses but...im no squirrel expert....i triedd!!
Helps them to balance while walking on wires
he can use it to keep himself warm
Otherwise, it would be called a ';tree rat.';








Do a search on Youtube for squirrel catapult. Watch it and see how the tail helps the little critter balance as he sails.
Its a built on blanket.
It is a decoy. Bird of prey will go for the tail instead of the squirrel because it is bigger.

My squirrel bob has dry skin and is losing hair! What can i do about it??

I need ur help!!My squirrel bob has dry skin and is losing hair! What can i do about it??
He sounds like he is missing the proper type of fats in his feed. Try adding a teaspoon of olive oil to his daily rations, and if he is tame enough to pet, try smoothing his fur with a dab of vitamin e from a capsule. Be sure to give him some apple slices and carrot sticks and try other kinds of raw greens, if he doesn't like it, he wont eat it, but he probably will gobble the stuff down. Best wishesMy squirrel bob has dry skin and is losing hair! What can i do about it??
Give him some cod liver oil. It is great for healthy skin, and pets love it. I used to give it to my rats when they had skin problems. I also take it myself, though I don't love it.
1. I love the fact that you have a squirrel





2. The previous posts are correct. It very well could be an oil issue in the diet. If you can a good general vet would be the best bet for a check up, but knowing full well the cost of that I would suggest trying a varied diet adding some vitamins and oils. That said there is a chance that it could be bacterial and based on the surface of the skin. Do you bath the squirrel at all or provide a means to wash?

Would 650 fps with a .177 caliber semi auto pellet gun kill a squirrel clean and how do you skin one?

Yes, ';IF'; that's 650fps at impact, with a brain shot and using proper hunting pellets.





You need a minimum of 6fpe at impact to kill small game such as rabbit %26amp; squirrel





650fps - 8.2gr pellet = 7.69fpe





575fps - 8.2gr = 6.02fpeWould 650 fps with a .177 caliber semi auto pellet gun kill a squirrel clean and how do you skin one?

i shot a squirrel at about 35 to 40 yards with my pellet gun (1000fps).he fell in his tracks. a pellet gun can definatly kill a squirrel with the right amount of speed, accuracy, and pellet.

Report Abuse



From a close range probably, I wouldn't risk beyond 30 feet.





To skin it, cut a notch on the middle of its back as if drawing a line between tail and head. Then slip your fingers under its skin and roll the skin off as if you were taking a sock off inside-out.
I wouldn't use a pellet gun for squirrel. They are pretty tough to kill even with a 22
yes if youre a good shot to clean it cut a knotch just underneath the tail cut all the way aroun the waist pull the skin all the way up over the head . then pull the bottom part down gut it and cut it youre done
yeah i used to hunt the tame squrrels in the neighborhood when i was a kid with my old pellet rifle, it was very accurate and had a scope on it, and out to about 20-30 yrds i could drill em right in the head and they would fall like rocks, never knowing what hit em. as far as cleaning its best done with 2 people and there are different ways to do it, if your by yourself then you should make a ring around the mid section and split the skin on each side then grab each and pull apart in opposite directions till skin comes to the neck and feet then simply cut off head, feet then gut and wash, 1/4 up and prepare , either fry or boil in a gravy to serve it over rice or pasta. will take some practice though....Good Luck
Depends on how close you are...it might not be a clean kill. They aren't that easy to kill... Skinning info here- http://bayoubill.com/archives/2002/08050鈥?/a>
NOPE.
idk they dont always die when there shot with a .22


to clean a squirel do the following...


pinch the back of the skin and hold while having the tail under your boot.


next cut the skin that your holding until you get down to the under coat.


next take the skin and and pull it off the squirel until you get to the hands and feet.


once your there break the hands and feet bones and cut off at the break this should leave you with just the meat.


last clean out the guts and put in salt water and let it sit for 24 hours before cooking or freezing.


also if its male dont forget to do that part.


hope this helped.

Double cage induction motor and double squirrel cage induction motor- same thing?

Yes; they are the same thing.





Here an illustration of a double cage rotor lamination. It shows the shape and position of the rotor bars. When the rotor is complete, the ends of the bars is covered with a ring of aluminum.

  • What's the technique to shootin g a bird in flight, or squirrel on the run?

    you lead it a little bit. lead more for faster animal or longer range than for up close or slower animal.What's the technique to shootin g a bird in flight, or squirrel on the run?
    The real secret is follow through. You must swing your gun at the same speed as the game you are shooting. When you squeeze the trigger keep your gun moving don't stop. This follow through will eliminate the need to guess how far the game is away, how fast it is moving and how fast your bullet travels. Once you master this tecnique you can keep the barrel aimed just ahead of his nose and you will kill him regardless of speed or distance. Then you will be the marvel of all your friends who use the point and shoot method, because you will kill a heck of alot more game.


    Good luck, and remember it takes some practice.What's the technique to shootin g a bird in flight, or squirrel on the run?
    Leading and follow through are key but how much of those has to do with distance and speed. You need to lead a duck flying with the wind at 30 yards much more that a squirrel running at 20 yards on the ground or dodging in a tree. Geese are especially challenging because they do not look that fast but can fly rapidly.





    I generally lead waterfowl a good 2 lengths if crossing. More if there is a heavy tail wind. I don't lead small ground game much at all unless they are 30 or more yards out and then just at the nose. Pull the trigger on pheasants as they reach a pinnacle if they are flushing mostly straight away. Keep your barrel moving for follow through in all instances!





    It takes practice, practice, practice. Get a friend, some clays and a thrower. Go through several boxes of inexpensive light shells.
    The simple answer is that you swing the barrel of your gun so that you overtake the animal from behind, swing through toward the front of the animal and fire in front of it. The way to remember it is to say ';Butt - Beak - Bang';. Keep swinging the gun after the shot is fired or you will miss and the shot will go behind the animal. Now that you have the necessary information you need to practice, practice, practice.
    its called ';leading';. the principle behind it is that if you were to shoot at an object in motion, at the second you pull the trigger, the object is in your sights, but the object is still moving as the projectile gets closer. once the projectile reaches the area you had in your sight when firing, the object has moved on.


    leading can be tricky since the lead you allow depends on your distance from the object, the speed at which it is moving and which direction you think it is going to go.
    You have to lead them

    If i keep feeding a friendly squirrel doritos...?

    Will it get fat by the end of the week? I am at a center parc acomidation and i thought it'll be hilarous if i was to get it fat.





    He loves dortos..








    So far he has aabout big bits of bread a load of beans and 5 dortios.If i keep feeding a friendly squirrel doritos...?
    You should read about a squirrel diet for more appropriate choices. Nuts and fruits would probably be better. If you have the chance, you could document the effects on the squirrel after a week or so and do a miniature scientific research study.If i keep feeding a friendly squirrel doritos...?
    Leave the poor guy alone to his natural life.
    Yes, he will definitely get fat. Squirrels are tiny compared with humans, so humans often underestimate how much to feel them. Animals have no free will, so they will eat as much as you give them.





    In the long run, it's not good for them, because they will grow dependent on you, and may act aggressively towards other humans, expecting to be fed. But as far as obesity goes, I don't think it's a huge problem, unless you feed them for several weeks straight.
    How about you get a brain, one that works. Leave the squirrel alone, if he eats doritos, he will die of malnutrition, or be lunch for some predator. Too bad you can not be lunch for some predator!! Stupid child!!
    u have too much time on ur hands...





    and also its probably not even the same squirrel that you are feeding each time

    Any good recipes for squirrel?

    ....for squirrels, they really enjoy corn on the cob


    ....but they also 'get by' on sunflower seeds, as well as, the standard 'bill-o-fare' in the forest of pecans, walnuts, acorns and berries





    ....if you mean to cook and eat some squirrel, well


    ....our family always prepared the squirrel, as if it were a roasted turkey, and propped up on top of a bed of rice pilaf or cornbread stuffing


    ....the meat should be basted while it is roasting (very much like a duck)....several squirrels can be roasted at one time as they do not really require a lot of room for each squirrel


    ....also, for a festive presentation of the main course, some parts may be reattached, such as the tail, feet (washed and claws cleaned of course) and the ears and nose


    ....squirrel may also be deep fried, in a presure cooker, much like fried chicken.....batter is optional


    ...squirrel can also be smoked (really good that way too)


    .....if you prefer to cook some way other than roasting or deep fried, i recommend to boil the meat a little bit first, to remove some of the oily juice...then the meat can be sliced or quartered and sauteed in a wok, or over the stove





    ....hope these ideas are relished well


    ....before our family was paid millions of dollars for the 'coal' in the hills where used to hunt those squirrels for our food, we would eat a whole lotta squirrels...poor man's chicken

  • Is there a spring squirrel hunting season in ohio.?

    I am 11 and want to go squirrel hunting. if there is a spring squirrel season when is it.Is there a spring squirrel hunting season in ohio.?
    There is no spring squirrel season in Ohio. The people that said there's no such thing as squirrel season or no spring season anywhere have no idea what they are talking about. I go to Tennessee to hunt and they have a spring season. My suggestion would be for you to have someone take you to your local gun shop and get a book with the seasons and rules for hunting in Ohio. They are free and you won't have to take someone's word on what is legal or not. Some ';experts'; don't have a clue what they are talking about. Look at it this way, you have all spring and summer to work on your shooting technique so by this fall the squirrels won't have a chance. Good luck and be safe hunting.Is there a spring squirrel hunting season in ohio.?
    No. Squirrel season in Ohio is only in Fall and Winter. The next squirrel season in Ohio runs from September 1, 2009 through January 31, 2010.





    If you want to hunt in the spring, your options are pretty much limited to turkey, coyote, groundhog, and feral pig.
    No. Looks like the season doesn't open until September 1.
    I think it starts in september. Ignore all the other people who keep saying there is no such thing as a squirrel season.


    Good Luck
    There's no such thing a a spring squirrel season anywhere.
    There's no such thing as a squirrel season. Likely, nobody will care if you shoot squirrels any time of the year, as long as you don't do it in a crowded or public area.

    Help for a baby squirrel?

    i took care of an infant squirrel for a while. then i had some as pets. so he is old enough to drink on his own. thats great. just make sure it has plenty bedding material, soft wood chips, or shredded newspaper, that would be great and sorta green. the food,, plenty of nuts, apples, crackers, but remember.. they can NOT digest cellulose! so be careful. and please make sure it has plenty of water. Help for a baby squirrel?
    This belongs in the rodent category. Although I found some who fell on the concrete in the winter snow and saved one life. When the squirrel gets so old, it will want to sleep and only let you pet it when it sleeps but will not be handlable once it is grown. And you won't be able to put it out doors loose because it doesn't know how to hide or run from other animals or protect itself. And if you give it to animal control they will put it to sleep. It is better to find a local ZOO and offer it to them before it is weened so they will feel in their hearts to raise it there. In some states it is illegal to keep wild animals.
    please find a wildlife rehabber in your area to care for the squirrel properly so it can be released. If you raise this squirrel yourself, it is a death sentence for the squirrel.
    feed it sunflower seeds

    What Should we get? Chipmunk or sugar glider or squirrel?

    Me and my husband are getting a small animal in a few weeks we are getting a Huge gliding cage its 5 story and a place for hanging and climbing I really want a Chipmunk but My husband was a sugar glider or squirrelWhat Should we get? Chipmunk or sugar glider or squirrel?
    1 do NOT buy a sugar glider from a pets store that is the worst place to buy one i have a sugar glider and i love her


    2 buy a sugar glider from a breeder it will probably be cheaper and healthier


    3 if your going to buy a sugar glider you need to buy 2 of them


    4 they should be 8 weeks is the youngest and 8 months is the oldest if you buy suggies from 5 to 8 months make sure they have been handled alot or it will be hard to tame them


    also if you buy one make sure you have enough time and money for him or her they are very social animals they dont cost alot but if they get sick get ready for a big vet bill a check up in oh alone is around 50 to 80 dollars


    5 they have a strict diet but after about 2 weeks it gets easy


    6 they are very loving and will only bond to one person so thats an even better reason to get to


    7 make sure you do your research


    8 your ready to go here are place's where you can buy a suggie


    hoobly. com


    kijiji. com


    craigslist. com


    glidercentral. com





    if you buy 2 sugar gliders of the oppisite sex you MUST get the boy fixed inbreed sugar gliders are unhealthy and will cost you a huge vet fee p.s. i recommend you go to glidercentral. com make a free account they have a database of vets, licensed and cheap, breeders, diets, they also have small breeders that sell there suggies on the website, and if you need any help you can post any question on the buliten its the best place make sure if you buy a suggie on any of the websites other then glidercentral you get them vet checkedWhat Should we get?

    .I have 1 female sugar glider and before buying her I researched alot on the internet about Sugar Gliders. You DON'T HAVE TO get 2 sugar gliders, people just recommend you to get 2 because if you get only 1 you need to spend alot of time with it. I spend alot of time with mine and it is'nt sick!!!

    chipmunks are the best and the cleanest, they are so much fun, I have two,but outside they are tame will eat out of your hand and store there seeds, to eat in the winter, very cool
    chip monks live longer and are more intelligent. They dont smell as bad as squirrels. However, no rodents make very good pets, as the need to gnaw to keep their teeth in order makes them quite destructive.
    Can you even legally own a chipmunk or squirrel as a pet? I'd go with the sugar glider.

    Do you mean Lemurs? They are in the monkey family.
    Monkies I believe.
    neither it is a merkat,a type of the feline family.
    Neither. They are called lemurs. Lemurs are related to monkeys, apes, and people. They are a class of primate called prosimians and are part of the infraorder lemuiformes. They are the predecessors of monkeys, apes, and humans, which are the groups known as simians. Lemurs have a long tail like a monkey, but unlike many monkeys a lemur's tail is not prehensile (it cannot grab onto things like an extra limb). One of the most commonly seen types of lemur is the ring-tailed lemur. They are grey, with a black and white ringed tail. They are the typical lemur.
    Neither, they are Lemurs. They are a kind of primate. So They are more like a monkey than a squirell.

    Would you allow your child to keep a squirrel as a pet?

    NO. Its a wild animal, and even if domesticated, it always will have the nature to be wild.Would you allow your child to keep a squirrel as a pet?
    I would be cautious keeping a squirrel. I love animals, but squirrels can carry diseases like rabies. Plus it may very well be illegal to keep a squirrel as a pet. If it is illegal and you get caught they could fine you and destroy the animal. Wild animals need to stay wild.Would you allow your child to keep a squirrel as a pet?
    No Way! Too many diseases!
    lol, my ex boyfriend's parents had a squirrel as a pet. They had found it as a baby and raised it. It was wonderful to them (they could hold it and feed him) but as far as anyone but my boyfriends parents he would bite and damn does that hurt :-). But their funny in a cage
    No. I don't trust squirrels. BUT I would let them have a Raccon. I actually have a pet Raccon at my uncles.
    I had a pet squirrel growing up for several years. he was lots of fun and an awesome pet. my dad brought him home because he was a baby and his mom got killed accidently by someone taking down a tree.
    no!


    think of all the diseases its got!


    well thats if its just a wild one.





    but still wouldn't


    it depends on how old this child is..
    Never
    no. Squirrel's carry rebies.
    No, I would get a dog. They're better.
    if the squirrel didnt bite him and there was no rabbi's and the child didnt ry to rip off its head................
    i raised an abandoned squirrel that had fallen out of its nest a few years back, and no i wouldnt let my child have one for a pet, and no i dont think anyone else should either. when he was old enough i turned him back out in the woods, no one should keep a wild animal as a pet they need to be free, they arent made for being a pet and never really fully tame down like a domestic animal does.





    this is not to even mention the legalities of it.
    No.
    No squirrels are not domesticated and should not be made to stay as a pet. The squirrel would not be happy and when it attacks your child neither will you.
    Squirrels are wild creatures and should be left alone.
    Never. Squirrels aren't meant to be pets.
    1. what would you feed it?


    2. where would you keep it?


    3. it is wild


    4. it has rabbies


    5. they are possesed.


    6. they have a family.

    What should i do with this baby squirrel ?

    ok so my dog killed a squirrel last week and it was living on a tree that's on my back yard and today i was doing my lawn and a baby squirrel approach me i thing it was a baby from the one my dog killed and i think she is hungry and she is claiming on my shoulder i gave it some watermelon ans she is eating it who do i turn this little animal to i don't have the time or know led to take care of it ! please help ! hope you understand my english thanks !What should i do with this baby squirrel ?
    Try to not handle it, because once you touch the baby squirrel it will not be accepted back into the wild due the the scent of human on it. Also, squirrels can grow up and get mean. They also carry diseases. Your best bet to do at this point in time is to keep in outside in the tree and place food near it for survival. The wild will learn to keep care of ones self and adapt. You sound very kind and loving!What should i do with this baby squirrel ?
    dont handle it just get bird food and put it out for it

  • My pet squirrel scratched me, and made me bleed, may be infected . . what should i do about oozing?

    It is unlikely your squirrel has rabies if it's confined to a cage in your home but, as the first reply stated, you should have taken precautionary steps (immediately). You have to be seen by a doctor for an antibiotic injection and must bring your squirrel to a vet. hospital to be seen by a veterinarian with knowledge of treating a rodent. I assume, as a rodent, it has pellet droppings instead of the ';messy stuff'; but don't know whether, or not, it covers what it leaves? The problem with a scratch is that you can be infected by what the animal may have gotten on a claw-tip - this would be similar to Cat Scratch Fever which must run its' course as there aren't any antibiotics which have proven to relieve/cure the symptoms. The symptoms usually include swollen lymph glands, a low-grade fever and a boil-type infection where the claw has punctured - I'd forgotten about these until a month ago, when I realized my symptoms ';seemed familiar'; (from 20 years earlier). Someone terrified my cat while I was holding her . . . so, next time, do the peroxide wash as am sure you don't want blood-poisoning. You do trim your squirrel's claws, don't you (unless you have a large oak tree growing in your room)?? Buy a nail-clipper for birds and be careful not to get bitten!My pet squirrel scratched me, and made me bleed, may be infected . . what should i do about oozing?
    wash the wound well, with peroxide.


    I recommend, you go to a hospital:did the squirrel had a rabies shot in the last 12 months.If not, you better get a rabies shot!

    A few seconds on defrost probably won't do him much harm, but twenty minutes on high would give you one horrifically tortured, dead squirrel - well done.

    Which squirrel builds the nest?

    We have gray squirrels and we've been wondering which squirrel builds the nest?Which squirrel builds the nest?
    Both sexes build nests as that is their ';home'; and where they sleep and spend the colder months. Female squirrels will build a larger nest than the males because of having little ones. And it's not unusual for them to have a smaller summer nest and a larger winter nest either.Which squirrel builds the nest?
    pretty much all squirrels will make a nest of some sort...gray squirrels will make a basketball sized clump of leaves and branches up in the trees along with bringing in branches and leaves to make nests in attics





    Mustanger , in Texas, legally because squirrels are a regulated animal there are only two ways to kill squirrel...one is through hunting in the appropriate season and in areas where fire arms are legal to use...the second way is if you have a squirrel doing damage to property you must either contact the mayor's office or if in the country contact the local justice of the peace, who in turn will contact the wildlife dept who will then send an officer to evaluate the situation and then determine if lethal means is needed to remove the problem animal
    I don't really care. Those destructive little pests destroy the wiring in your home, car or any thing else they can get into. They also wreak havoc on my fruit and nut trees. I don't check the sex I just shoot.
    all do and they are very Territorial.

  • Is this a new kind of Squirrel?

    I feed a lot of California gray squirrels in my yard who look pretty much alike. A new guy has started coming who is smaller and much grayer, has white rings around his eyes and a grayish-white collar around his neck and down his chest. His tail looks like a young squirrel's (not so bushy yet) He looks so different from the others I wonder if he really is a CA gray squirrel, just very young and will change color as he gets older, or if he is a different variety. Anyone know?Is this a new kind of Squirrel?
    ?? Fox Squirrel ?? http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/im鈥?/a>Is this a new kind of Squirrel?
    He may be of a different variety. Here in NE, most of the squirrels are brown, and/or reddish brown. Once in a while a black one shows up.

    Has anyone ever seen a flying squirrel (in the wild)?

    How far can they glide?Has anyone ever seen a flying squirrel (in the wild)?
    Yes on infrequent occasions and we raised three orphaned babies to adulthood.They lived in a large cage and on occasions were let out to play in the living room.Flying squirrels can glide amazing distances especially when they glide into the wind. Squirrels are hard to raise and require special care. They now live very happily in a large zoo.Has anyone ever seen a flying squirrel (in the wild)?
    Funny. I've lived here on and off for 50 years and I never saw one in the wild. We do have them though, because one turned up at the wildlife rehab center I volunteer at.
    i never saw a flying squirrel. if there was a flying squirrel i think it would glide about 5 ft

    please make sure you are ready to make a 10-15 year commitment to this pet before you buy one. they are nocturnal and require extensive care in terms of both supplies and diet. and they are quite challenging as pets.Where Could I buy a Flying Squirrel?

    My sister found a baby squirrel?

    She has had it for about 2 months. Can she let it go or will it die?My sister found a baby squirrel?
    well i had a pet squirrel one time and they said to keep it bc it could die if it can not find food for him self and he is not yet fast so cats or anything could get it and dont let it go once it got bigger bc it wont no how to get food or anything bc your sister has hand feed it so if you let it go its got a good chance of dieing so keep it or take it to the wildlife rescue near youMy sister found a baby squirrel?
    I would say take it to the vet but... I think an exotic vet can check that out for you and if it was a baby when you took it in it doesn't know how to survive in the wild so I would definatly keep it. It would probably die because of starvation or something.
    take it to the local vet or wildlife rescue. it is illegal to keep an exotic from the wild in america. plus it can be very dangerous, squirrels cn take off fingers. i have seen it happen.

    a stupid squirrel is always in my bird feeder and it drives my dog NUTS! (no pun intended)...how do i keep it away!?How do i keep a squirrel away!?
    move the bird feeder where the squirrel cant reach itHow do i keep a squirrel away!?
    I have tried everything.There IS no place where a squirrel can't reach the feeder. I hung it high, put grease on the pole, put up a squirrel proof thing above and below the feeder. I put squirrel repellent in the food and around the feeder. I even got a squirrel proof feeder. (which actually worked for a little while. Then he learned how to control it) I've given up and now I have a squirrel feeder on the other side of the yard. It helps more than anything. He still visits the bird feeder from time to time, but not near as much as he used to. It sounds like you just need to move the feeder where the dog can't see it.
    Squirrels are extremely smart. They will figure almost anything to get at sunflower seeds. So start by not using bird feed with sunflower seeds.





    DON'T but the bird feed closer to the house in thinking that the human activity will spoke them. Squirrel will just start to associate you or the house with food and want to get inside.





    Small bird feeder seem to work best because they tip and squirrel's or more likely to fall off. But they can hang on to many.


    Try a squirrel proof feeder but before buying look at it and think will this really work because most squirrel proof feeders don't stop them.

    Squirrel is a male or female substantive? In portuguese is male (o esquilo), in spanish is female (la ardilla)

    I want answers!Squirrel is a male or female substantive? In portuguese is male (o esquilo), in spanish is female (la ardilla)
    In English, there is no differentiation based on perceived gender. It's just a squirrel - no gender implied.Squirrel is a male or female substantive? In portuguese is male (o esquilo), in spanish is female (la ardilla)
    she
    It just depends on the language. In Finland, we don't have any articles at all. Squirrel is orava no matter how defined it is.
    It depends on the sex of the squirrel in question. If it is male then it is masculine, but if it is female then it is feminine. Mostly though you wouldn't get close enough to a squirrel to inspect his or her genitalia and determine the sex so it remains neutral.
    In Czech, it is female.

    the man= ten mu啪


    the woman= ta 啪ena

    Does anyone know of a cat breed that carries it's tail over it's back like a squirrel?

    The cat is was given to my daughter at church. She has had one batch of kittens and they also carrey their tails over there back although they are totaly different colors and fur than the mother. We want to get her spade when she is through weaning them but wonder if it is a new breed startingDoes anyone know of a cat breed that carries it's tail over it's back like a squirrel?
    We have a British Shorthaired cat that does this as well. We talked to some cat show judges and they said thats it is considered a fault for a show cat because it does run in the family. The judge explained that the last vertebrate before the tail starts is damaged, crooked or something that causes the muscles to pull the tail up and over. This will throw your cat off balance. Ours is quite the clutz, but handsome. You could create a breed of cats that have this trait because it is cute, however you should consider the general health of the cats. Their is a breed of munchkins cats available and they have short legs and a normal body. Some people don't like this breed because they have trouble grooming themselves. Perhaps you should visit the American Cat Fanciers Association or The International Cat Association websites for information on new breeds and see what they sayDoes anyone know of a cat breed that carries it's tail over it's back like a squirrel?
    I'm not 100% of what you mean, but I have a male longhair that ALWAYS has his tail up in the air, straight up.. and he swishes it around like.. well.. anyway, it's the strangest thing, it may just be a thing that runs in the line of one of the parents, like the cats that have 2 separate eye colors...
    I had a cat a long time ago who carried his tail over his back. I curled in a circle just like a Husky dog. He also had no balance. He would fall and land on his back. The strangest thing I ever saw. My kids also have a big orange Tabby who's tail lays in his back. I don't know if it is a new bread.
    I've never heard of a breed like that, but that's not to say there isn't. Call a vet's office and ask the receptionist, maybe she can tell you. I've had two cats that carried their tails over their back like a chow dog, but that was just a quirk of their personality.
    My Siamersian does that. We call her our little lemur.
    A happy cat or a female in heat will walk around with its tail straight up, don't think it has anything to do with breed.


    Could be also that the momma cat has some sort of genetic spinal birth defect that she passed on to all her offspring.


    Ask your vet when you take the kittens in for their first check-up and shots.
    My cat does that and she's a mix. ( Heinz 57 lol) kind of tiger-striped. Her name by the was IS Squirrel. My vet said it was just a quirk of hers. She had no injuries, etc., But that doesn't mean it's the same for your cat. I'd ask my vet if I were you. He may want to run x-rays.
    I cant think of a certain breed that does that...but some cats do that....maybe it is just a trait inherited by mother or father cat
    Kittens do that. I'm not sure why. The kittend will grow out of it though as they mature and grow.

    Squirrel deterrents?

    My wife is getting so aggrevated by the squirrels digging in her flower pots and containers. We have tried moth balls and several commercial squirrel deterrents, but they just push them aside and continue to dig up her new plantings - help!!!!Squirrel deterrents?
    Buy a squirrel feeder and feed them. They are fun to watch. Make it challenging for them to get the food.Squirrel deterrents?
    I had the same problem. I ended up buying the Hav-a-Hart live traps. If you bait them with acorns or nuts you can collect about a squirrel per day. When they are in the trap you drive them about three miles away and then tip the trap over to unlatch it and watch them run to their new home (which is not your home).
    You need to get a beagle dog,they are great hunters.
    Get your self a ' live trap ', bait it with sun flower seeds in a small cover off something, putting that in the far end, so he has to trip the pedal he steps on to reach the seeds. Then, relocate the rotten thing ! There were a lot of them around our area when we moved in, including racoons. I bought a trap big enough for them . Now they are '; relocated'; as well ! It really works !
    You could tie your dog up to that plant box on stake'em out in the garden. But if he takes a nap or becomes friends with the Squirrel then you've lost again. Or you could put up a low electric fence around your garden but if the pesky little critters come in thru the trees that won't do you no good.
    I'd get a golden retrever. I had one when I was a kid and it was always bring dead things to my parents.
    Go to your local garden store, buy some animal repellent. Most work very well on squirrels.
    you can get a dog. my dog didn't help, but people say they do. the only effective cure for squirrels is to trap them and take them far away. this will be an ongoing process, but it works better than anything else i have ever tried. good luck.

    How much fps it have to be to kill a squirrel?

    If your looking to squirrel hunt with an airgun, just get GAMO break barrel. They shoot at approx. 1500 fps and it wont leave any wounded squirrels dying up in the trees. Ive killed several with my 700fps pellet hand gun. Accuracy matters though. A wounded squirrel will run and climb and you'll never find it. Good luck and send me some squirrel stew.How much fps it have to be to kill a squirrel?
    One - if you're shooting a bowling ball.How much fps it have to be to kill a squirrel?
    1,000 fps will kill a squirrel, at 1125 fps a .22 long rifle would too.
    You need a minimum impact energy of 3 ft-lbs. To achieve that you need an impact velocity of 415 fps with an 8 grain .177 pellet or 300 fps with a 14 grain .22 caliber pellet. Note those are impact energy figures. To achieve at least that out to 30 yards you need a muzzle velocity of around 700 fps for a .177 caliber pellet and around 600 fps for a .22 caliber pellet (there's a bit more cushion there, but...)
    5ftlb or 5fpe would be a better answer to your question, since i would need to know pellet weight and gun to give an answwer on fps. and that would change with distance. go to beeman.com and they have an article on this
    If you are talking air guns, go with a .22.


    I have taken them with .177 but the .22 does it much faster without the animal suffering much. I would go with 900 fps at least.

    Why is the grey squirrel the state animal of north carolina?

    why... why... WHYYYYYWhy is the grey squirrel the state animal of north carolina?
    Because they picked it.

    Can u make a list of things u can kill with a .17HMR like a rabbit or squirrel or what?

    Rabbit


    Squirrel


    Prarie Dog


    Ground hog


    Fox


    Coyote


    skunk


    Snake


    Racoon


    Bob Cat


    Beaver


    Muskrat


    Wood Chuck


    And a lot more.


    P.S the 17 cal is a great varmit hunting gunCan u make a list of things u can kill with a .17HMR like a rabbit or squirrel or what?
    As others have pointed out, the 17hmr is limited to small game. Check your local states small game catalog that will tell you what game is available for hunting and when. The lists above are common small game species, but check with your states regs before hunting.





    While the 17hmr is a fantastic pure varmint gun, there are better choices in my opinion. Due to the price of ammo, the 17hmr does not function well as a range gun. The 22lr is more than adequate for all small game out to 100yards and can also double as a great range gun that won't break your bank. In contrast the 17hmr gets about 50 extra yards of ';effective'; range at about 5x the cost with no added killing power or additional game you can hunt over the 22lr.





    Your other choice would be a larger centerfire rifle like a .223, .243/6mm, or even a .270, that are great large game guns for animals up to deer and even elk with the .270, but can also be loaded with lighter dedicated varmint ammo which is cheaper than the big game loads. You then have a gun that can reach out to 300+ yards and can also be used for bigger game if you want at a cost that isn't that much more than 17hmr shot for shot.





    The 17hmr is just too impractical, and doesn't warrent the current cost for the advantages you get when compared to better choices. Just my 2 cents, enjoy whatever you decide to shoot. That's the most important thing.





    -GregCan u make a list of things u can kill with a .17HMR like a rabbit or squirrel or what?
    Pretty much any small game or vermin up to about coyote size.





    I would not recommend it for squirrels as you will be shooting above the horizon. The bullet will go through the squirrel and end up ???????? don't risk it.





    For squirrels I recommend a small shotgun either .410 or 20 gauge.

    I have a Mossberg 817 rifle and it uses .17HMR. The Remingtons are good while the Winchesters jam.

    It is because there are Grey Tree Squirrels everywhere.Why is the grey squirrel the state animal of north carolina?
    Only because they are nicer-looking than Norway rats.





    Seriously, state animals, drinks, horses, insects, gems, birds, dogs, etc. usually are named because some grade school class talks about it and the teacher writes a letter to the local representative. The rep, seeing a chance to please the constituents (and their parents) without spending much money, introduces it as a bill. The bill passes and is signed for the same reason. And another useless law is on the books.
    Well, do you live in North Carolina, if you do, then you'll notice that every where you go, you see a grey squirrel! If you see something grey then you pretty much assume that it's a grey squirrel.
    because they are so tasty

    I'm not sure, but I guess it would. Check the labeling on the container. That may give you some help.Will ant poison also kill a bird or a squirrel if it eats it?
    It depends on the poison. Many of them are based on boric acid, which bird and mammals can eat like candy with little ill effect. Others, like Diazinon will kill birds and squirrels.Will ant poison also kill a bird or a squirrel if it eats it?
    It depends on the ant poison-some are more toxic than others. Your best bet is to put the poison in less conspicuous areas.

    Does a squirrel living in a cold climate (hibernates in winter) live longer than the pampered London squirrel?

    Tree squirrels do not hibernate. They will warm up by sunning themselves and also by shivering. Then they are off in search of food. It is not unusual for squirrel families to den together for warmth in the winter. These families usually consist of directly related females and/or the previous years offspring. You think London squirrels are pampered? Our's get walnuts, pecans, filberts, peanuts, sunflower seeds, corn, lab blocks, monkey biscuits, and fresh vegies and fruit. Spoiled rotten little rascals!Does a squirrel living in a cold climate (hibernates in winter) live longer than the pampered London squirrel?
    Pampered...? is that before or after it's been run overDoes a squirrel living in a cold climate (hibernates in winter) live longer than the pampered London squirrel?
    Don't the squirrels in London hibernate?


    Bear it in mind that all squirrels wake up on sunny / warmer days to eat and do what they have to do. They don't hibernate in the true sense of the word..
    what! London squirrels wear nappies!
    I live in MI where the temps are subfreezing for months. The squirrels here don't hibernate. They just hole up when the weather is extreme. On calm days they come out and look for food in the snowy forest.
    The poor little squirrels can't get gas masks small enough, and just can't get used to excessive carbon emmissions. ;)

    Do any of you know any tips for squirrel hunting in the woods with a 1000 fps pellet gun?

    With that small of a projectile you need to get VERY close. Set up early, before sunup, so you can be waiting when the squirrels get up. Be very quite and don't shoot until they are close enough for you to get the shot you want, preferably a head shot. Also, use the hunting pellets, the ones with a pointed end. Practice, practice, practice, and then practice some more. You need to be extremely accurate with that gun to get a head shot.Do any of you know any tips for squirrel hunting in the woods with a 1000 fps pellet gun?
    Same as with any gun. Find their trees set up early and wait.Do any of you know any tips for squirrel hunting in the woods with a 1000 fps pellet gun?
    I would check your hunting laws. It is not legal to hunt game with air rifles in some states.


    My suggestion would be spend $100 - $125 and buy a decent .22 or single shot 410
    get a 17. they work great for squirrel and other varmits. Unless you plan on eating the squirrels, the 17 does kinda blow 'em up.
    Use the heaviest weight of pellet available. Don't try for long shots as the pellet will loose velocity and energy quickly. Practice shooting targets untill you have the ability to place your shot where you want it to go. Try to shoot the squirrel in the head if possible. Wear camoflage clothing and try stand hunting. Be very very still and quiet and try not to move. If you are old enough to own a 1000fps pellet gun, I think you are old enough to have a .22 rifle or .410 shotgun. I love hunting with a .410 single shot as it is an effective squirrel gun, the pellets will not travel a real long range and it does not kick real hard for a smaller person. Hope this helps. Be safe and obey the hunting laws. Being a good sportsman is far more important that harvesting squirrels. Remember, if you kill them, you'd better eat them. Killing just for killings sake is not hunting, it is perversion.
    Shot em in the head.
    tip 1- turn 18


    tip 2- buy a real gun


    tip 3-shoot squirrel


    Not trying to be rude, but without good head shots at close range it is inhumain to shoot squirrel with pellets....


    here why ...a pellet at 1000fps only generates 12ft/lbs of energy, where a 22lr generates 80 to 125ft/lbs of energy and it is barely adequit for squirrels.


    p.s. if you do try with the pellet gun I hope you hit him, pissing him off , and it attacks you.

    I don't know about giant rabid squirrels...raccoons or bats are more likely to be rabid. But if you do go with the squirrels they hate Capsacisn(sp?) the ingredient that makes hot peppers spicy. So you might want to put that in your spray.

    Will 750 fps with a hollow point pellet be enough to take a gray squirrel at 30 yards?

    Or will it just wound? I don't want to be cruel.


    RWS Hammerli 850Will 750 fps with a hollow point pellet be enough to take a gray squirrel at 30 yards?
    RWS Hammerli 850 - chronograph numbers


    655fps with 10.2gr JSB Exact Heavey domed pellets = 9.7ft-lbs


    5 shot groups average just under 1in at 50 yards.





    This rifle tends to prefer pellets in the 10gr weight range.





    A clean, humane kill on a squirrel requires a minimum impact energy of 3.0ft-lbs, with a head shot.





    From my airgun ballistics calculator - Your 850, using the JSB Exact heavy domed pellets delivers 5.8ft-lbs at 50 yards. Which is still enough impact energy to make a humane kill on a squirrel or rabbit(5.0ft-lbs)





    The optimum sight-in range** for the 850 shooting JSB Exact heavies is 31 yards. This gives you the widest range of flat trajectory...If you sight-in at 31 yards, the pellet will be 1/2in low at 6 yards, dead on at 11, 1/2in high at 21, and 1/2in low again at 35 yards. %26gt;This way you don't have to worry too much about hold over/under out to 35 yards





    If you want to hunt small game at ranges greater than 35 yards you're going to have to shoot(practice) until you know the pellet drop.

    Cf45 is correct! so yes it will, but its more about accuracy and a lethal hit! so find the pellet that is most accurate in your gun! i find that domed pellets are more accurate at 30yrds+. pellets that i like are jsb exacts, beeman fts, crossman premiers and rws super domes/points!
    i think it would. know your vitals on a squirrel and aim for those. i would suggest the head or right below the ribcage. Personally i have never killed one with a pellet. Try a CB .22 if you are still not confident. No squirrels have ever sufferd with this round. They are almost silent so you can use them in residental areas. got four squirrels with these.
    I found that pointed pellets worked best for squirrels, and I tried lots of different designs. They would shake off BBs and regular flat points, and the hollow points would wound them, but not drop them.





    When I used Crossman's pointed pellets in the venerable Crossman 760 (pump-up or pneumatic), which is still available 40 years later, the little b@st@rds just fell down dead.

    http://www.pyramydair.com/cgi-bin/show_n鈥?/a>
    If you take a head, or upper torso shot on the squirrel, it should be dead. What I do, is chase them until they run up a tree, then shoot them up there. This is nice, because if you do wound you can see where it goes, and get another shot. Good luck, hope you get one.
    C_F_45 nailed it and worked out the numbers there's not much for any of the rest of us to do except reaffirm the basics which is so long as the pellet delivers 3 ft-lbs of impact energy with a head shot it will kill a squirrel.
    A good head shot the squirrel is dead. A body shot depends on the location.


    It might die fast or slow or not at all.

    I actually have one and they are a lot more work than you think. I can't sleep more than 4 hours since he still is too young and had to be fed. Thyries a lot and bites frequently even when he knows i am the one who feeds him. It also is illegal in most states. They are not tame my advice is to get a ferret.
    Go to the park, capture one, (first buy a normal rodent cage with food dish, a running wheel maybe, water bottle, and hut) and put it in da cage and care 4 it. i'd feed it seeds and nuts or bird food bcuz they steal bird food from feeders.
    You don't want a squirrel! They may look cute, but they can be pretty aggressive. I'm still questioning the fact of whether it is legal or not. And think about the poor animal! It doesn't want to be in a cage!
    i pet squirell is a odd pet to have and i dont think there are many people who sell them but i can sugest that u look in the internet for breeders or captur a baby squirell from a near by area
    find a squirrel nest and rob it while momma is away but make sure the babies eyes are still shut but the babies has to be a few weeks old they can't be new born and bottle feed it with bitches milk or baby formula
    Act like Varooka and make your daddy get one for you... JK lol

  • Is a squirrel sandwich good?

    Me and my friends are thinking about making some. We have a couple of live traps out in the woods.Is a squirrel sandwich good?
    The meat is grainy and gamey, and there is not very much of it. They are a pain to clean. Go for rabbits instead.Is a squirrel sandwich good?
    Aha, my brothers used to eat squirrels but i don't think they would be made for a very good sandwich.haha.

    I'm obviously on the other side of the world to you, cos it's swelteringly hot, and so humid the floor feels sticky. There is a cyclone up north and everything is steamy and mildewey.
    lol. That sounds so wrong.

    it's so cold here that Michael Jackson had to put on another glove!

    Why was I censured for my wet squirrel question?

    Is there something symbolic about a wet squirrel. I mean you see them all the time running wild at the park.





    What is Yahoo afraid of?Why was I censured for my wet squirrel question?
    i am a red squirrel, i'm wet all the time in the parkWhy was I censured for my wet squirrel question?

    Yahoo is afraid of many things, so i've seen on Y! Answers
    They are afraid of shaved cats and wide open beavers, but wet squirrels? Beats me.
    yahoo is afraid of you getting to excited about your own squirrel go figure
    I think sometimes they read things into questions.

    I must have missed that question

    Will he bring me a ';gift'; one day...of a dead bunny or squirrel?

    My 7 month old Lab/Beagle mix is always chasing these little critters,and almost caught up to a squirrel today in my backyard:-(Will he bring me a ';gift'; one day...of a dead bunny or squirrel?
    I would not worry too much about it. My dog once caught a rabbit and was so surprised that she dropped it out of her mouth. They will grow out of it soon enough!Will he bring me a ';gift'; one day...of a dead bunny or squirrel?
    At this age, the your puppy is really playful, and still curious of things. If you catch him/her trying to chase/ catch a ';gift'; tell him off. Maybe buy a plant stray and have it on hand if this occurs.





    There are also collars you can get with citronella, around 拢60. These come with a remote so at any time when your dog is doing something wrong, this will squirt and hopefully resolving the habit. Only get this if it really does carry on.
    He very well may catch a squirrel one day, don't be surprised. He may even kill and bring back other small critters.





    Dogs are predators and squirrels, bunnies and other similiar type of critters are prey animals. It doesn't make him a bad dog, it's just his genetic make-up and he's just doing his job.
    He will get lucky one day and probably snag one! If you don't like the thought of that you can buy deterrents to ward off all the critters. Then you won't have a present! But it's in your dogs blood to chase after those things.
    I don't know that he will bring it to you, but he may eventually catch one and attempt to eat it. My dogs regularly catch squirrels and birds.
    Well if he ever caught one, sure. You know, you really can't fault him for it, it is in his nature to do. Specially with that Beagle in him.
    thats wut my dachshund did..he gave me 7 ';gifts'; one for each of the days of the week...no lie!! it wuz gross they were al birds! but i mean i a gifts a gift..it comes from the heart..lolz :D
    haha wow i read that question like OMG what the hell is this





    but yea he'll get one eventually





    my pug.. fat slow pug caught a bird.... and idk how
    Yes. I read that they hunt rabbits. They're scent hounds (dogs excellent at smelling), it's normal.
    More likely yes, Beagles are raise to hunt rabbits and Labs are hunting dogs too.
    probably. They are hunters after all.

    Has anyone ever personally seen a squirrel poop?

    8th wonder of the worldHas anyone ever personally seen a squirrel poop?
    It is just like any other rodents poop little long turds.Has anyone ever personally seen a squirrel poop?
    Thinking about it, no i haven't. But it's not really something i'd remember. Mysterious Ain't it....
    when I was going pee in the woods a squire crawled out to the end of a log 4 feet away from me and watched me pee. It was so unexpectedly awkward.
    No, but I saw one get run over the other day. It was horrible, it went into a spasm outside Asda car park before dying. : (
    Probably cause we used to look after one because its mother abandoned it :(
    No. I saw a penquin fart once, not kidding.
    i saw a monkey mocking me... its true!
    Er...

    Things that eat squirrels are dogs, cats, bigger birds of prey, foxes and weasley, stoaty things. Mink too if there are any about.

    Can you actually have a squirrel for a pet?

    I don't want one , I Can you actually have a squirrel for a pet?
    Yes. According to wikipedia: ';Squirrels are occasionally kept as household pets, provided they are selected young enough and are hand raised in a proper fashion. They can be taught to do tricks, and are said to be as intelligent as dogs in their ability to learn behaviors. In these cases, a large cage and a balanced diet with good variety will keep a pet squirrel healthy and happy. As a pet, the owner must be aware of ';spring fever'; at which time a female pet squirrel will become very defensive of her cage, thinking of it as her nest, and will become somewhat aggressive to defend the area.';


    Can you actually have a squirrel for a pet?
    you what


    anyway, it depends on which state you live in, in most states its illegal to have a wild animal in your house


    i had one, and i nurtured a baby back to health when it fell out of a tree, but id suggest getting a baby because older ones can be vicios
    Are you referring to a wild squirrel like the ones you find in your backyard? I think there might be disease issues there but it's your call. I had a pet pig in a suburban area as a pet when I was young so why not?!
    My grandmother had one, but it was never really friendly. It used to bite her all the time, if I am remember correctly.
    Yes, you can, but squirrels eat your nuts at home.
    Yes, you can.
    yes, but they bite

  • Squirrel hunting had a quick question?

    As you all know it's squirrel season and it's almost DEC, Well it's 7:45 AM I want to go squirrel hunt now but is it a good time to go?Squirrel hunting had a quick question?
    Best time is before 10:30 AM, and after 2 PM in the Afternoon.*Squirrel hunting had a quick question?
    When it is cold and sunny, little to no wind and at sun up or shortly after in the morning. When it is windy or cloudy squirrels will stir but stay close to their holes (dens). When it's very windy you're lucky to see one unless it's in a well sheltered draw or hollar. Another good time to go is right before sunset, about 30 minutes before or so. They will come out and forage around until in most cases after dark.


    With a fox squirrel, they come out a bit later than the grey squirrels. With experience you will be able to tell with their barks if it's a grey or a fox (red) squirrel. You can usually find them about mid morning and throughout the day sunning themselves on branches, look in the pocket between the limb and trunk closely, you'll most often see them there sunning or eating.


    This time of year, look around any oak trees for either kind of squirrel. A good sign is if you find acorn shell castings around the trees. Many times you'll see holes in the tree where they have dug out old woodpecker nests and made them into their own nests. You'll know you have found a well used one if you find all the bark scrapped off around the hole from their claws as they go in and out.


    Stay well hidden around a large grove of tall oak trees and you're sure to see one. They like the taller trees for escape from preditors.


    The favorite place I like to go is a large grove of oak tress with cedars around and by them for cover for the squirrels and me.


    Hope you get your limit :o)
    I find that I bag the most squirrels if I am in the woods just before daylight. They are starting to move about just as the sun comes up and will continue until about 10:00 AM. If it is overcast, they may move about later in the day. There will still be squirrels moving about after 10:00 but they are less active and you will likely get fewer shots. They are active again in the late afternoon but I have always found the morning to be more productive. And, no, they don't have little wristwatches, the times are just approximate.
    You can squirrel hunt at pretty much any time. It really doesn't matter.





    -Connor
    Yes because the squirrels are out and moving in the morning just like deer.
    three hours after sunrise and three hours before sunset
    anytime is a good time for squirrels
    yes am is fine after a rain they come out and feed ok thanks eddie
    Wait... squirrels have to be in season, to hunt them?
