this might be a long answer, first "Warm and Cold Blooded" term is not what it seems..and is confusing.. scientists no longer use this term actually a cold blooded animals are invertebrates, reptiles, and everything besides mammals and birds, and actually the main diferance between the 2 is warmblooded animals need about 3-10 times more food ,Some might say that warmblooded creatures are "superior" because they tend to have far greater stamina, but actually they can't move faster than cold-blooded animals (for short bursts), and they starve far more easily than cold-blooded creatures, but any way.. back to your question.. a squirl is a mammal.. so they are warm blooded persay
