Does anyone know how often baby squirrels survive a long fall?

Small animals can take falls very well, but those babies may have died anyway. They need to be in a warm nest, away from predators. Did the mother collect them?

Some live for up to a year while others live only a couple of weeks!

If the pedals were plastic, then squirrels could eat them.\n\nGround squirrels eat certain vegetables and field crops at seedling stage. Squirrels damage young shrubs, vines, and trees by gnawing bark, girdling trunks, eating twigs and leaves, and burrowing around roots. Squirrels even gnaw surface-type plastic irrigation pipe.\n--> http://cecalaveras.ucdavis.edu/ground.htm

Yes. But try to do it when it is a baby. They can be a wonderful pet. When they grow old they may not like the solitory life. They may require their mate. Either you grow squirrels in a group or dont allove  him to meet his mates. You will defenetely loose him after his sexual maturity. But I personnaly observed that some time they come back not due the affection but for the tasy food. They never can give happyness like dogs or other famous pets.

Gerbils usually live 3-4 years. Have a nice week. :)

According to folk lore and old wives' tales (at least here in the South), cardinals crossing our path is good luck but when a cardinal keeps staying at your window, "attacking" himself (because he thinks it's another male threatening his territory) it means there will be a death in the household within a year.  I had one at my window for 3 months and it nearly drove us crazy.  I don't understand how he didn't batter his brains out.  Anyway, two years have passed, but no household members have passed, thank goodness.  So much for tales!

How big was that cup?! I've found dead flies in my drink, but never, never a dead squirrel. I think you should contact Guiness Book of World Records.

You need to look more closely.  Around this time of year, you will see younger, not-quite-grown squirrels in backyards and woody areas.  They are more "svelt" than their parents, and their tails are usually a little less full.  The difference between them and the fully grown adult is about like the difference between a high school student and a grown up:  the size may be the same, but they still look younger and different somehow.  It's just hard to see when they are running across your backyard.

An orthodontist's nightmare, a beaver's front teeth never stop growing\n\nBeavers in the wild live about 10 to 12 years. They have been known to live as long as 19 years in captivity. They continue to grow throughout their lives and may reach 3 to 4 feet (0.9-1.2 m) long, including tail. Although most adult beavers weigh 40 to 70 pounds (17-32 kg), very old, fat beavers can weigh as much as 100 pounds (45 kg).\n\nThey can reach speeds of up to 6 m.p.h. when swimming.\n\nAmerican Indians called the beaver the "sacred center" of the land because this species creates rich habitats for other mammals, fish, turtles, frogs, birds and ducks. \n\nBeavers mate for life during their third year.\n\nWildlife rehabilitators find beavers to be gentle, reasoning beings who enjoy playing practical jokes.

Squirrels are carrying maximum acorns gives you following possibilities:\n\n5,5,5,5,2,2:  or 4 trips by black squirrel, 2 by brown\n5,5,5,3,2,2,2:  or 3 trips by black squirrel, 1 by gray, 3 by brown\n5,5,3,2,3,2,2,2:  or 2 trips by black squirrel, 2 by gray, 4 by brown\n5,3,2,3,2,3,2,2,2:  or 1 trip by black squirrel, 3 by gray, 5 by brown\n3,2,3,2,3,2,3,2,2,2:  or 4 trips by gray squirrel, 6 by brown\n2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2:  or 12 trips by brown squirrel\n3,3,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2:  or 2 trips by gray squirrel, 9 by brown\n3,3,3,3,2,2,2,2,2,2:  or 4 trips by gray squirrel, 6 by brown\n3,3,3,3,3,3,2,2,2:  or 6 trips by gray squirrel, 3 by brown\n3,3,3,3,3,3,3,3:  or 8 trips by gray squirrel\n5,3,3,3,3,3,2,2:  or 1 trip by black squirrel, 5 by gray, 2 by brown\n5,5,2,2,2,2,2,2,2:  or 2 trips by black squirrel, 7 by brown\n5,5,3,3,3,3,2:  or 2 trips by black squirrel, 4 by gray, 1 by brown\n5,5,5,3,3,3:  or 3 trips by black squirrel and 3 by gray\n\nThis gives a total of 14 ways if they carry maximum load.  They aren't divided evenly (I hope that's not a requirement).\n\nIf they carry less than maximum load, then it becomes a matter of the different distributions amongst the three squirrels which add up to 24:\n\nbrown = 0, gray = 0, black = 24\nbrown = 0, gray = 1, black = 23\nbrown = 1, gray = 0, black = 23\n...etc...\n\nwhich can be reduced down to the mathematical equation:\n\n1+2+3+4+...+25 = 325 different combinations!\n\n{Now ask why the equation end with "...+25" instead of "...+24"  :-) }

The squirrels in my yard eat anything they can find. Of course, the bird seed that I put out, but I have also seen them eat the bark off of small trees too. The leaf buds from trees, as well as digging for flower bulbs and bugs. They also find a few acorns that they had buried previously. Again, anything they can find, they are omnivorous.

Tree squirrels are active all year round. You may not see them as often in the Winter, since they stay in their nests to conserve body heat. But they don't hybernate!

i have. it was the only thing i could catch in the desert i was stranded in (near cali/arizona border) and i was 2 months pregnant. i couldn't catch the damn jackrabbits. i got one of those great big rats by the tail and swung it down really hard like five times to bash its skull in until it was dead. then i cooked it over my campfire. the hardest part was picking out all those little bones. and don't try to eat the tail. i thought it would be a delicacy, but it was damn near impossible to chew.

It will live as long as you keep it healthy.  Spider plants propate by sending out those little shooters.  Even as one part of the plant dies back, the new and younger parts will grow and replace it.  It will only die if you don't take care of it.  My mother has a spider plant that she has had for probably 25 years... she's actually made several new ones from the shooters off of the original.  :)

In midden piles.  Squirrels will bury large volumes of acorns, hickory nuts and walnuts underground or under a pile of leaves and forest floor litter, creating a cool, moist storage facility which they can use during the winter.\n\nLink below refers to red squirrels, but the behavior is true for gray squirrels, too.

It depends on the species. Large apple snails can live over 10 years. Small pond, ramshorn, trumpet, etc. snails may live 3-6 years but most die before that when they are eaten or due to poor water quality or something else. Trapdoor snails may live 5-10 years. The average run-of-the-mill small aquarium snail is lucky to live a few years with all the predators and dangers in the average tank. But, really there is no definitive answer to your question. I don't know that anyone's done real studies on this. It's just word of mouth as to how long someone's snail may have lived.

the life span of a walrus is about 32 years
