question: Where do animals like squirrels get water?
comment: There is different way to ger water that is not drinking. & #x200B; On is to eat food that contain a lot of water another is to metabolite food. . Humans generate \~0.4 liter of water per day from the food we metabolize. & #x200B; The amount you need to drink and can be supplied by food depend in the size and the evolution of the animals that for example changes how efficient the kidneys are. & #x200B; The result is that some animals like squires do not need to drink water but can get if from the food. It is the case that is is primary large animals that need to drink water and many small can manage without. & #x200B; Here is a link to a book that describe it for squirrels. [ URL_0 ]( URL_0 )

   The species can live without free water, as its kidneys are adapted to restrict water loss. A fennec's burrowing can cause the formation of dew. They are also known to absorb water through food consumption, but will drink water if available.

   The range of "S. deppei" overlaps with many other squirrel species. This includes areas of Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Chiapas. This area contains the Tikal National Park (in Guatemala) and populations of these squirrels can be seen around the Mayan Ruins. Research has been done in this area to see if the impact of humans would affect the population of animals in these high tourists areas and it was found that higher populations of "S. deppei" were seen around the ruins than in a controlled area. According to IUCN the population of "S. deppei" is stable.
  
  Section::::Distribution.:Habitat.
   Carnivores derive water from their prey's meat and blood. Insectivores, such as the aardwolf (a type of hyena) and the southern grasshopper mouse, are thus largely independent from free water.
   Terrestrial birds like the Corvus corax produce urine that is osmoltically more concentrated then its blood plasma. This is likely due to the fact that water is not as abundant in raven habitat.

   As tadpoles, the squirrel tree frog is preyed upon by dragonfly nymphs, giant water bugs, predatory fish and newts. Once the tadpoles metamorphose, the predators of the frogs change to small mammals, other frogs, snakes, birds.
   During the winter in Kansas, osage orange is a staple item supplemented with seeds of the Kentucky coffee tree ("Gymnocladus dioicus") and honey locust ("Gleditsia triacanthos"), corn, wheat, eastern cottonwood ("Populus deltoides" var. "deltoides") bark, ash seeds, and eastern red cedar ("Juniperus virginiana") berries. In the spring, fox squirrels feed primarily on buds of elm, maple, and oaks but also on newly sprouting leaves and insect larvae.

  Common squirrel monkeys are considered both frugivorous and insectivorous, preferring berry-like fruit on branches. When in captivity, squirrel monkeys are fed fruits such as apples, oranges, grapes, and bananas. They also consume a variety of vegetables that include lettuce, celery, and onions. Squirrel monkeys also look for insects and small vertebrates, such as tree frogs. It obtains a majority of its water from the foods eaten, and also obtains water from holes in trees and puddles on the ground. When fruit is scarce, the common squirrel monkey drinks nectar.

   Because squirrels cannot digest cellulose, they must rely on foods rich in protein, carbohydrates, and fats. In temperate regions, early spring is the hardest time of year for squirrels because the nuts they buried are beginning to sprout (and thus are no longer available to eat), while many of the usual food sources have not yet become available. During these times, squirrels rely heavily on the buds of trees. Squirrels, being primarily herbivores, eat a wide variety of plants, as well as nuts, seeds, conifer cones, fruits, fungi, and green vegetation. Some squirrels, however, also consume meat, especially when faced with hunger. Squirrels have been known to eat small birds, young snakes, and smaller rodents, as well as bird eggs and insects. Indeed, some tropical squirrel species have shifted almost entirely to a diet of insects.
   It is omnivorous, feeding on seeds, green vegetation, insects, and dried animal matter. It occasionally caches food. Redstem fialree ("Erodium cicutarium") and brome grass ("Bromus rubens") are important food items for the squirrels. However, their diet may differ depending on the time of day or time of year. Green vegetation is the most common diet type from December to mid-April because it is the most abundant during this period. Likewise, insects make up more than 90% of the squirrel's diet from mid-April to December because they are more abundant. Although seeds are available for most of the year, it is not the preferable diet of the squirrels. They will choose insects or green vegetation when available over seeds, even if the seeds are more abundant and easier to access. Some speculate that this could be due to the higher amount of water in insects and green vegetation, which would be necessary for the species to survive in such a hot, dry climate. Unfortunately for the Nelson's antelope squirrel, there is not an abundant water source nearby. Under laboratory conditions, the squirrels readily accept water. However, they can also survive at least 7 months in the shade without water. At the end of 7 months they appeared relatively healthy and not at all emaciated.
