Zebra Squirrels

Encyclopedia Entry
Stage III: This zebra squirrel has reached full adult size and is a capable tree climber. It is about the size of an Eastern grey squirrel. Unlike most other creatures it can rotate its hind legs completely around to allow it to climb down a tree head first. It is a quick and also strong little animal for its size, and can put up a strong fight if it needs to defend itself.

The zebra squirrel, named for its stripes, is a native to the Grym Forest, a jungle region of southern Peterra, found east of the Phargas Lake region. These agile rodents feed on nuts, seeds and sometimes insects. They spend almost all of their time in trees, where they are safe from predators and their food can be abundantly found.
