    The hind legs of squirrels are double jointed to help them run up and down trees and other objects. Their front claws are extremely sharp and help in gripping while climbing and traversing. http://wdfw.wa.gov/living/tree_squirrels.html

    Just love squirrels they have double jointed in THIER legs which gives that extra spring wish I had them lol
