Squirrels are prey for many creatures. They are hunted by mammals such as cats, dogs, badgers, pine martens, minks, bobcats, birds such as hawks, owls, black kites, falcons, and reptiles including rattlesnakes, bull snakes, alligator snapping turtles. Also, squirrels can be preyed upon by other squirrels.
