Squirrels are a species of villager in the Animal Crossing series. They resemble real squirrels with their fluffy tails and facial features. As with all Animal Crossing species, they have heads that are out of proportion to the rest of their body, making them one of two species to retain this trait in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The other species being the Mouse. Most squirrels' catchphrases have "nut" or relates to it. Though some squirrels resemble other species, e.g. chipmunks, in Animal Crossing they are all labeled squirrels. There are twenty-one squirrel villagers so far, excluding Chestnut, of which there are only six male squirrels compared to 15 female squirrels. All of which are either cranky or jock, with the exception of Filbert and Marshal, who are lazy and smug, respectively. Out of the squirrels, Kit is the only squirrel to not appear in Animal Crossing: New Leaf - Welcome amiibo
