All these years of my life I thought that squirrels are strict herbivores, then on one tv animal show, I saw squirrel getting into a bird`s nest and was eating its young...So are squirrels vegetarians or vegans? - as opportunity presents itself.

Most squirrel species are primarily herbivores. However when faced with hunger they become more opportunistic, also eating things like eat things like insects, small birds, eggs, and even small reptiles and rodents. Some species of ground squirrel such as the thirteen-lined ground squirrel and the white-tailed antelope squirrel seem more inclined toward an omnivorous diet.

I seen once a squirrel sitting at an outside table at McDonald`s and munching at an discarded burger....3 minutes later it went into convulsions and died from the burger, so squirrels are omnivores, it`s the quality of the burger meat that done it IN...( Hey Dennis, Dennis, pick my answer as the best, PLEASE!, I need those 10 points real bad.)

Herbivore = eats vegation
Omnivore = eats both meat and vegation
Omnivore = eats both meat and vegation
