As we know, in general, a master jumping animal named squirrel we often meet in the jungles. Because basically, the actual squirrel habitat is forest. Well, let's learn together about this little animal.

In general, the squirrel can grow up to about 25 cm long - about the size of two human hands. A squirrel has a useful tail to help it jump from tree to tree without losing its balance. The sharp little squirrel nails make it capable of climbing trees easily.

Squirrels can run along the branches, hanging from the head below. Like a gray squirrel; can jump from the end of the branch to the branch of another tree as far as 4 meters. When jumping, a gray squirrel will stretch the front and back legs before flying. Meanwhile, the squirrel's tail is flattened to maintain balance as well as a steering wheel that leads where he perch.
Squirrels can fall freely from a branch of 9 meters above ground and landed deftly on the ground with four legs.

Squirrels are a small group of similar mammals and are often mistaken for a squirrel. In fact, scientifically squirrel is not one of the squirrel family. Squirrels are insect predators, and originally incorporated into the insectivorous (insectivorous) nation, as are ceragals, while squirrels belong to the rodentia (rodent), as is the case with rats.

Squirrels also have relatively large brains. Even the great ratio of squirrel's brain is as great as his body, and the great ratio of the squirrel's brain is the largest in living beings, defeating humans.

As mentioned above, initially the squirrel is one of the clusters; nation of insectivores. Well, because of the resemblance of the squirrel's internal with the monkeys, slow loris, apes; The squirrel is then considered to be one of the early primate groups. But over time, based on the study of molecular kinship, squirrels are currently classified separately into the scandalized nation.

So how can a squirrel jump from branch to branch in another like a reliable circus acrobator? If we notice, the squirrel will jump on its hind legs. Squirrel eye jelly that is able to estimate the exact distance also helped him not to miss the target he was headed. In addition, his strong claws and tail are able to maintain balance, also makes the squirrel able to regulate the balance of the body. Thanks to these advantages, squirrels can leap casually ... and elegantly.
