SQUIRREL PUPS? THAT’S NUTS!

I really enjoyed BBC2’S Natural World show about Super Squirrels (above) and their amazing intelligence and agility. However, it was puzzling that the baby squirrels were referred to as pups and not kittens – and why were they being raised for release into the wild? I’ve always thought that once caught they’d be kept in captivity.
