Squirrel
Squirrels are a medium-sized rodent with large bushy tails Squirrels are generally clever and persistent animals They are omnivores; they eat a wide variety of plant food, including nuts, seeds, fruits, fungi, and green vegetation, and they also eat insects, eggs, and even small birds, smaller mammals, frogs, and carrion In tropical areas, these foods often replace nuts They are indigenous to Europe, Asia, America and Africa
Facts about Squirrels- A few animals, like the flying squirrel, have a flap of skin between their front and back legs which helps them glide from tree to tree
The colugo has a bigger cloak of skin, and it can glide twice as far- up to 100 metres
- Flying squirrels don't really fly, they glide from branch to branch
A blanket-like furry skin stretches their front and hind legs, and acts as a parachute, enabling the squirrel to soar like a kite
- Millions of trees are accidentally planted by squirrels who bury nuts and then forget where they hid them

KANGURU
Kangaroo

Kangaroos have long been regarded as strange animals Early explorers described them as creatures that had heads like deer (without antlers), stood upright like men, and hopped like frogs They have large, powerful hind legs, large feet adapted for leaping, a long muscular tail for balance, and a small head Like all marsupials, female kangaroos have a pouch called a marsupium in which joeys complete postnatal development They are the only large animals to use hopping as a means of locomotion The comfortable hopping speed for Red Kangaroo is about 20-25 km/h (13-16 mph), but speeds of up to 70 km/h (44 mph) can be attained, over short distances, while it can sustain a speed of 40 km/h (25 mph) for more than a mile The average life expectancy of a kangaroo is about 4-6 years, with some living until they are about 23 They are large herbivores, feeding on grass and roots, and they chew cud Because of its grazing, the kangaroo has developed specialized teeth Its incisors are able to crop grass close to the ground, and its molars chop and grind the grass
