A Squirrel is faced with many challenges when it is old enough to venture off from the nest and build a life of its own. Its lifestyle is solely dependent on hits habitat and surroundings. In a city area the common grey squirrel has been spotted at bird feeders, however we have noticed that they tend not to live in short proximity to their food source. We suspect this is true because of the possibility of an attack by another animal in competition for food such as a cat or human

The average grey squirrel living in a rural area would tend to live atop a tree by building a spherical nest where it is protected from enemies. Other times squirrels find that stone walls are a safer place to raise their family. They hide between the rocks in tiny crevices where it is nearly impossible for any animal to get to them. This behavior is thought to be one of logic which squirrels use to survive the forces of nature. With the correct squirrel enhancing technology being developed in today's workforce squirrels could someday have the potential to carry out difficult military tasks, perform dangerous surgery and maybe someday be the first living creature to venture to mars in a beta program NASA is currently developing called SquirrLab.
