==//Connor Checked by: Steven A squirrel lives in South Africa, Augrabies Falls National Park and in Namibia. Squirrels habitat is in mostly dry parts of Africa. They are everywhere in the Kalahari Park. Most Squirrels are herbivores. They eat seeds, nuts, berries and shoots. But some squirrels also eat insects. Squirrels predators are Red-tailed hawks, wild cats, foxes, owls, raccoons, and opossums. Squirrel’s bushy tails are sometimes used as a sun umbrella. Their burrows are sometimes shared by Meerkats and Yellow Mongooses. Comments of largely nocturnal Flying-Squirrels can glide about 10 to 15 metres.//==
