DESCRIPTION:In Greek, skia means “shadow” and oura means “tail”.  Put them 
 together and you get Sciurus, the genus of squirrels!\n\nCome and learn 
 about the shade-tails on our walk, lead by Lila Talcott-Travis, a longtime 
 wildlife rehabber and student of squirrel morphology, natural history, and 
 lore.\n\nSquirrels have achieved a place of distinction in European and 
 English family crests as a symbol of retirement or retreat into the forest, 
 something we all probably think about living in bustling Oakland.  Take a 
 time-out from your busy life to learn about…\n- Their acute sense of 
 smell!  They can smell a rotten or insect infested nut through the shell, 
 and even find caches of nuts under the snow by sniffing them out.\n- Their 
 bushy tails!  Tails are used for communication, protection from the 
 elements, balance, warmth, and to confuse predators.\n- Their evolution 
 with trees!  Squirrels and trees have been evolving together for thousands 
 of years, and some production patterns of nuts and cones are thought to 
 have been influenced by squirrels.\n- Lots of other things you didn’t 
 even know you wanted to know…\n\nWild Oakland is a 100% Do-It-Yourself 
 volunteer organization, from the Guiding Committee to the walk leaders. All 
 people involved in this project donate their time because of a shared 
 passion for ecology and education.  Our mission is to provide free, fun, 
 relevant, and commitment-free environmental education to busy urbanites.  
 \n\nThe walks are geared towards adults and teens, but we encourage parents 
 to bring their young children even if some information may be over their 
 heads!\n\nWe’ll see you at the walk!\n\n
