The difference between a squirrel and a hamster

Squirrels and hamsters are two different animals. They are quite different in appearance, behavior and living habits.

First, in appearance, squirrels are usually bigger than hamsters. Squirrels are relatively large and have long, furry tails. Hamsters are usually smaller and have relatively short tails. Squirrels have a variety of coat colors, such as gray, red and black, while hamsters generally have golden yellow and white coat colors.

Secondly, from the point of view of behavior and living habits, squirrels are typical omnivores, mainly feeding on nuts, seeds and fruits. They like to move in trees and can jump and climb flexibly. Squirrels can dig holes as habitats and store food for emergencies. On the other hand, hamsters mainly eat grains, seeds and vegetables. They are used to living in cages and storing food in cheek pouches. This special cheek pouch allows them to carry food around.

Generally speaking, although squirrels and hamsters belong to rodents, there are obvious differences in appearance, behavior and living habits. I hope this information can help you.
