Learn about the amazing fur coat of squirrels, how it keeps them warm and helps them in their environment. Perfect for little explorers aged 4 and up.
Okay, little buddy! Imagine you have a soft, warm blanket that keeps you cozy when it's cold outside. A squirrel has something similar called a fur coat!
This coat is made of tiny, fluffy hairs that help keep the squirrel warm in chilly weather. Just like wearing a jacket helps you stay warm, the fur coat does the same thing for a squirrel.
The fur can be lots of pretty colors, like gray, brown, or even red! This helps them blend in with the trees and grass, kind of like playing hide and seek. When they feel safe, they can go out and look for nuts and seeds!
So, remember, a squirrel's fur coat is its own little jacket that keeps it warm and helps it stay safe in nature!
