Hi there! Let's talk about squirrels and how they help plants grow, especially during winter.
Squirrels love to eat seeds and fruits. Since winter is cold and food is hard to find, they gather these seeds and fruits when it's warm and bury them in the ground. This way, they have food ready to eat later.
But guess what? Sometimes squirrels forget where they buried their seeds! When they forget, those seeds are left in the soil.
Because the seeds are in the ground, they start to grow into new plants and trees! This helps make the forest nice and green because new trees are growing thanks to the squirrels.
So, squirrels storing seeds not only helps them survive winter but also helps nature by planting new trees without even trying!
