Squirrels tend to bury food underground, piece by piece. Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground. When they need the food, squirrels use their memories and sense of smell to help them find what they buried. Sometimes, you’ll even see them digging through the snow. Squirrels make nests in trees. Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels（地道）, where it is warmer. When spring comes, squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth, like buds and leaves.
