Chapter 4: Water

Everyone gets thirsty, don't they? Squirrels need to drink too. We don't have many soda machines around, so we drink water. We get most of it from those juicy nuts and seeds we eat. But we also stop at puddles, ponds, and bird baths to get a drink. And, hey, might as well take a bath while we're already there! We can swim too, if it means we can get closer to food, or escape from some other animal that thinks we look like lunch. Have I mentioned I like to eat yet?!

If you're thinking of building a habitat for us, don't forget the water. It's horrible to have all those nut parts stuck in your teeth and not be able to get a good drink!
