DESCRIPTION:<h2 style='text-align: center\;'><strong>Squirrels of Lake Merr
 itt</strong></h2>\n<h2 style='text-align: center\;'>Presented by Lila Talc
 ott-Travis from Yggdrasil Urban Wildlife Rescue</h2>\n<h5><strong>“Pity th
 e poor tree squirrel.  Throughout history\, it has rarely been the object 
 of much attention.  Ignored both as a heroic beast and as despicable vermi
 n\, the squirrel has inspired few myths\, poems\, or art.  What can be the
  reason?… Perhaps because they are so common\, they are overlooked… Whatev
 er the reason\, there is much to ponder about the family of squirrels\, fr
 om their unique tails to their evolutionary development in tune with trees
  such as the oak and pine.”</strong></h5>\n<h5 align='right'><strong>- <sp
 an style='text-decoration: underline\;'>Squirrels: A Wildlife Handbook</sp
 an> by Kim Long</strong></h5>\n<p>In Greek\, <em>skia</em> means “shadow” 
 and <em>oura</em> means “tail”.  Put them together and you get <em>Sciurus
 </em>\, the genus of squirrels!</p>\n<p>Come and learn about the shade-tai
 ls on our walk\, lead by Lila Talcott-Travis\, a longtime wildlife rehabbe
 r and student of squirrel morphology\, natural history\, and lore.</p>\n<p
 >Squirrels have achieved a place of distinction in European and English fa
 mily crests as a symbol of retirement or retreat into the forest\, somethi
 ng we all probably think about living in bustling Oakland.  Take a time-ou
 t from your busy life to learn about…</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Their acu
 te sense of smell! </em></strong> They can smell a rotten or insect infest
 ed nut through the shell\, and even find caches of nuts under the snow by 
 sniffing them out.</li>\n<li><strong><em>Their bushy tails!</em></strong> 
  Tails are used for communication\, protection from the elements\, balance
 \, warmth\, and to confuse predators.</li>\n<li><strong><em>Their evolutio
 n with trees! </em></strong> Squirrels and trees have been evolving togeth
 er for thousands of years\, and some production patterns of nuts and cones
  are thought to have been influenced by squirrels.</li>\n<li><strong><em>L
 ots of other things you didn’t even know you wanted to know…</em></strong>
 </li>\n</ul>\n<p>We’ll see you at the walk!</p>
