Eastern and American Red Squirrels Squirrels eat a wide variety of plant-based foods, including nuts, seeds, fruits, fungi, and vegetables, but are also opportunistic omnivores that will consume insects, eggs, and sometimes small animals. Their diet changes seasonally; in the spring and summer, they focus on fruits and insects, while in the fall they gather and store nuts and other non-perishable items to survive the winter. #naturelovers #lovewildlife #wildlife #nature #squirrel #naturephotogra
