Why do squirrels have fluffy tails instead of bare ones like rats?
Rats are ground dwellers and don't do what squirrels do; which is jump from tree to tree. Squirrels need the extra stability that having a fluffy tail gives them during "flight" in mid-air when they jump from branch to branch.
Can squirrels survive without their tails?
Squirrels without tails are usually a genetic defect. Basically, too many squirrels inbreeding in their gene pool. It happens more often where there is ample feeding in a neighborhood, and many otherwise weak offspring would have died. These squirrels also seem to get "picked on" by their tail waving brethren, due to not having a tail to flap and wriggle in communication. The tail also acts like a little parachute when they jump from branch to branch, and a tail free squirrel would be deprived of this balancing assistance. In the winter the tail helps warm them, so they would be more susceptible to the cold. But bottom line- can it survive? Yes. If you are seeing squirrels without tails, you will probably also start seeing ones with stubs of fluff, and just slightly less long and fluffy tails than usual. Sometimes the genetics improves with succeeding generations.
