Meet the Eastern Gray Squirrel - a bushy-tailed acrobat with a knack for nut-hoarding. These animals are so wary (read: paranoid) when burying their food, they sometimes only pretend to hide nuts if they suspect they are being watched.

Native to eastern North America, these furry ninjas exploit their four fingers and five toes to scale dizzying heights and raid bird feeders with parkour-worthy flair. However, their talents extend beyond the natural world. They've developed a fondness for the finer things in life, like, say, your attic. These industrious critters have taken to constructing elaborate nest complexes within your home, leaving a trail of destruction in their wake.

Despite their solitary tendencies, squirrels exhibit surprising acts of kindness, even adopting orphaned pups.
