The Eurasian red squirrel is not just an adorable face—it plays a vital role in forest ecosystems. By burying nuts and seeds, they unintentionally help plant new trees, making them nature’s little gardeners! In winter, their ear tufts grow longer, and they can even retrieve food hidden months before thanks to their incredible memory. Ever watched one perform gravity-defying jumps? They can leap up to 3 meters between branches!
