I am willing to bet you have never wondered whether gray squirrels can be ambidextrous, right, or left-handed.  I know I didn’t.  However, research conducted by scientists at the University of Exeter found that gray squirrels can indeed be ambidextrous, right, or left-handed.

       Interestingly, those squirrels that show a paw preference are not as adept at learning tasks as those that are ambidextrous.

       Since the gray squirrels that call my backyard home have no problem quickly figuring out how to raid any new feeder I put out, they must be ambidextrous!
