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.
