📝 Quick summary of key information

How does Squirrel Rouky jump from tree to tree?

The red squirrel is an acrobat in the trees. Its bushy tail works like a rudder and a parachute. It helps him jump from tree to tree without falling. Imagine a little pilot in the air, that's exactly what he does!

Red squirrels are very important for the forests. They spread tree seeds by burying them. Some seeds are forgotten and sprout, helping the forests to renew. They are like gardeners of the woods!

These little animals live in the forests of Europe and North America. They spend their days looking for food, building nests, and playing. Their nest, often in the branches of trees, is cozy and well hidden.

Before winter, red squirrels gather nuts, acorns, and seeds. They hide them in the ground or in hollow trees to eat later. It's like they are saving food for a big winter feast!
