Rats with good PR is how we often describe them. Both are very smart (highly recommend Mark Rober's squirrel videos on the you tubes). Main thing I don't like about rats is the awful shrieking they make. Although, squirrels can growl quite loudly.

There sure are a lot of squirrels, rare I don't see a few on my walks.

PS Come on aTw, defend these poor little squirrels.

I don't like grey squirrels who incidentally remind me of rats.

Other types of squirrels are available.
