Squirrels are tiny passive animals that were added in update v0.11 to The Forest.

Gameplay[]

When killed, they give the player one small meat and one Squirrel Head. As with most small animals, squirrels can be killed with a single hit by any weapon in the game. Squirrels can be caught in animal traps though they are often not wanted by most players. Consider killing them before triggering the trap. A crafted bow or a modern bow is often the most effective. Ironically, squirrels cannot climb trees.

Squirrels can be found throughout most wooded areas or even open areas. They are not highly sought after animals. They seem to be American red squirrels.
