For a long time I've wondered why I don't see squirrel poop on the ground. I mean they have to, they're animals. But why don't we see squirrel poop like we can see bird poop, or rabbit poop, or cat poop?
Google has not failed me.
"Squirrel droppings are very small - they are 5 mm long, about the same size as a raisin. They are also light brown and a similar color to soil, so are hard to find. I should imagine that many of the droppings are trodden on before they are seen by people. Generally speaking, tree squirrels leave their droppings anywhere, so there are not large concentrations of them, which people would be more likely to notice."
Something to think about the next time you want to just sit or lay down in your yard.
