Squirrel
Squirrels are a small mammalian species native to Earth on several continents. Squirrels are herbivorous, eating a basic diet of nuts, small plants and seeds. They also live in trees in order to hide from predators and to raise young.
[edit] On Other Planets
Similar animals, also referred to as "squirrels", have been noted to live on several planets, including Reach until its destruction by the Covenant.
The young Spartan-IIs survived several days on squirrels during one of their war game sessions with Tango Company, where they had to capture a flag. [1]
Janissary James, musing about food in which milk that came from an unspecified source is used, suggested that the milk could come from squirrels.[2]
[edit] Trivia
The Halo: Reach Squirrel AI; jokingly referred to as the "Space Squirrel", was deleted from the game after it, like the Porcupine, failed to succeed the "Zero-bug release" tests.
