What are the squirrels adaptations?

The squirrel has claws to climb trees and to grasp things, the squirrel has teeth to crack open nuts, and whenever a person tries to catch a squirrel, the squirrel scampers up a tree. The adaptations of my animal are physical and behavior because claws and teeth are physical and scampering up a tree is a part of behavior to the squirrel. If the squirrel didn't have claws, the squirrel couldn't climb trees, crack open nuts or grasp things, and if the squirrel didn't have teeth the squirrel couldn't eat. The squirrel might face problems like being caught by other animals, and people would catch squirrels and kill them and then the squirrels might become endangered or extinct.
