Eli5: Why are there so many squirrels in cities?

624 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?

Squirrels definitely eat garbage. Sometimes when I’m walking into work I get startled by a noise by the trash can and I’ll look over and it’s a squirrel rummaging through the trash. They scurry around the can, staying on the opposite side so I can’t see them.
