They also build nests in tree branches and eat fruits, seeds, leaves and insects, until they are able to find safety in their surroundings.
Losing trees and green spaces can make it harder for squirrels to find food and shelter. They can also be harmed by cars when crossing roads and by natural predators like birds of prey. Luckily, Pallas's squirrels are commonly found throughout Taiwan and have adapted well to living around people, including college campuses and city parks. Although they are not considered rare in Taiwan, protecting trees and green spaces, would help make sure that they continue to have safe places to live.
