If you think that all squirrels do all day is bury nuts, think again. Squirrels are far more complex creatures. They enjoy painting, playing Jenga, as well as sniffing flowers, or sipping hot tea with a nice view.
Today is Squirrel Appreciation Day and Bored Panda couldn't miss the opportunity to get a sneak peak into the whimsical every day life of our furry friends. So we compiled a nutty list of squirrels for you to choose the nuttiest ones! Did you spot one yourself? Upload your photos to the list!

It's not a chipmunk. It's exactly what it says it is---a Sri Lankan Palm Squirrel. Try using google.

is it real? I doubt that! they never behave themselves like that if they r that close 2 each other! plus they look almost identical, which is also doubtful. but if its the real pic - wow, good job!

Winter Photosession

Put peanut butter on the camera where you want them to lick. also put peanut inside the snowball sticking out with peanut butter, so they have to pick it up to eat the food.

Squirrel Mom With The Baby

Yes I saw the tag too. It might be a Grey Squirrel being monitored in England, as they are an invasive species there.

Nope, that is a red squirrel, the kind the Brits don't want to kill. *sigh*

Loving mother.... I have squirrels on my fire escape. I built a house for a pregnant squirrel and then she gave birth to four babies. She was very caring while they were little, but when they grue up almost to adults, she would chase them from her food. Well, probably it is their rules. Then she left, it was to much for her to live with them.

Actually, your rude comment is incorrect. Maybe where you live they have short tails, but not where I live... they're actually quite long.

Where do you live by chance? Because to me that is a chipmunk. Maybe we just have different names for them, but in Canada that is a chipmunk. We have them all over and they have long tails.

The size in Asia is much larger than a chipmunk.

SpookySpook 9 years ago
yes, my friend saw that once. after a tree collapsed a squirrel mom had 2 bring 4 kinds 2 the new home on another tree nearby (thats y they build 10-15 nests just in case). After bringing them all 2 the new nest she got exhausted so deeply she just took a nap in the middle of the road just like that, n only after 10 minutes came back 2 actually move away n try 2 climb that tree 2 check the babies.

Squirrel Tries To Steal A Carved Pumpkin From Photographer’s Backyard
Becky Hendrickson Monska 9 years ago
I love these. The photographer rigs different hollow heads with fishing line. Fills with yummy squirrel treats so they stick their heads in. Then he takes the pics. I want to do this!

I have 2 squirrels in my yard and they ate my entire carved pumpkin! They were so happy! I read it is their favorite human food.

They are squirrels. Called Palm Squirrels. Chipmunks have different colors and while they are similar in some features, they also have vastly different back marks. You must be from America to assume they are only chipmunks. Try Google. It will help you with that. :)

I've seen this on some squirrels - a tuft on the end of their tail - and I wonder why.

I don't think it's a tuft so much as bald right below the end...
