Eli5: Why are there so many squirrels in cities?

648 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?

What makes you think squirrels don’t eat garbage? They’re omnivores and while they prefer nuts and plants they will eat garbage if they have to. They will even hunt and kill other animals if they can get away with it.
