Hızal also stated that the squirrel has now acquired essential survival behaviors such as opening and eating shelled foods and defending itself.

"It has also developed the ability to store food in line with its growth. Its development during the care process went very well, and it is now two months old. We will release it back into the wild at the spot where we found it," she explained.
