Eli5: Why are there so many squirrels in cities?

656 views

I get why cities support crows, rats, raccoons, and other animals that eat our garbage, but squirrels don’t. What do cities offer squirrels?

I rehab squirrels. Humans and their habitats are ideal for squirrels. They eat a wide variety of things. Plus humans will feed them. Either directly or indirectly through bird feeders garbage or just sitting in a park and tossing food at them. Squirrels are highly intelligent. They are great problem solvers and they adapt well to varying conditions. I have great respect for squirrels. Plus they are super cuddly and love to play games. I enjoy rehabbing them and releasing them back to their natural environment.
