Their name can be traced back to the ancient Greeks, where the term "skiouros" was used by Aristotle. Skia meant shade, while "oura" meant tail. Later, the French used the noun "esquirel" to describe this animal, which is where our present term "squirrel" comes from.In more urban settings, squirrels have been known to eat just about anything - from pizza to luncheon meats to snack foods! However, their typical diet includes nuts, seeds, and fruits. Their most favorite food is nuts, followed by sunflower seeds.A squirrel's tail is used for a variety of tasks, while the main function is for balance. It also uses it as a parachute, a blanket in cold times, and to communicate with other squirrels. The most common tail communication is a quick flicking of the tail which means "get out of here!". They also communicate by using shrill sounds (tchrring) in which the pitch and duration creates different meanings. From the NYC II Collection. Gemstones will vary in color or patterns.
