These secretive animals only venture out of their nests after dark and return to their ...

Squirrels
We marvel at squirrels' climbing ability, industriousness when gathering and burying acorns, and their hilarious acrobatics when they scamper through trees. Unfortunately, squirrels can also be troublesome, wear out their welcome, and test the patience of homeowners.
