Even in a bustling city, it’s likely that you encounter wildlife frequently. Squirrels, in particular, are common sights, even in the most densely populated urban areas. If you live on a college campus, you may find yourself surrounded by them. While some people find them charming, others view them as relentless nuisances, constantly chewing and nesting in everything they come across. Here are 16 reasons why you should appreciate these clever, remarkable, bushy-tailed creatures.

1. Squirrels can jump really, really far.

2. Squirrels are very organized.

3. Squirrels are also forgetful, and that forgetfulness helps trees grow.

4. Squirrels help truffles thrive.

5. Squirrels are one of the few mammals that can sprint down a tree head-first.

6. Several towns compete for the title of “Home of the White Squirrel.”

7. Squirrels could aid in stroke research.

8. Squirrel fur may have spread leprosy in the Middle Ages.

9. Squirrels are more powerful than hackers.

10. Squirrels can heat up their tails to ward off predators.

11. Squirrels help scientists determine whether a forest is healthy.

12. Squirrels can lie.

13. Squirrels used to be America’s most popular pet.

14. The mere sight of just one squirrel could once attract a crowd.

15. In the 19th century, squirrels were tasked with teaching compassion.

16. Squirrels used to hate tax season, too:

Although they are now largely absent from major cities, squirrels once overran much of the U.S. In early Ohio, the large population of gray squirrels caused so much crop damage that people were urged—and even required—to hunt them. In 1807, the Ohio General Assembly mandated that citizens not only pay their regular taxes but also provide a few squirrel carcasses. According to the Ohio History Connection, taxpayers were required to submit at least 10 squirrel scalps to the town clerk annually. Tennessee had similar laws, but allowed people to pay with dead crows if they couldn’t gather enough squirrels.
