Quiz Question: How do squirrels help the forest?
The given options are:
- By planting trees and bushes
- By aerating the soil
- By providing comic relief
Correct Answer:
By planting trees and bushes
Info: Most squirrels bury caches of food for later consumption, but squirrel brain capacity being what it is, they inevitably forget where some of the food has been buried. Out of that grows one of the humble squirrel’s most important roles in the forest ecosystem: It’s an inadvertent planter of new trees and bushes.
