Question
Consider the following statements regarding the Indian squirrels:
1. They build nests by making burrows in the ground.
2. They store their food materials like nuts and seeds in the ground.
3. They are omnivorous.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct Answer — B
Explanation
Indian squirrels build nests in tree branches and hollows, not ground burrows, so statement 1 is wrong. But they genuinely bury nuts underground for later retrieval, and being omnivorous, they also eat insects and small animals besides plant matter.
