What do squirrels look like? Squirrels are generally small rodents with slender bodies, bushy tails and large eyes. In general, their fur is short, soft and silky, and ranges in thickness from species to species. The color of their fur is also highly variable and can be whitish, gray, yellow, red, brown, or even black.

Squirrels have plenty of predators, or natural enemies. They are often attacked by flying predators such as hawks and owls. On the ground, squirrels need to be on the lookout for all the foxes, coyotes, wildcats, weasels and snakes that eat them whenever they get a chance.
