New Animal Suggestion for the Dappled Forest

I'd like to suggest adding Squirrels as a new mob for the Dappled Forest.

They would climb trees and eat acorns (new item dropped from poplar leaves). 

There would be two variants of the squirrel: the Common Squirrel (brown) and the Red Squirrel. The common squirrel would be easier to find and would have a rare chance to drop a Squirrel Paw, a new item used to brew the new Climbing Potion. The red squirrel, on the other hand, wouldn't drop anything, but it could be tamed. After being tamed, it would help the player find acorns in poplar leaves (a mechanic similar to rabbits with planted carrots).

All of these suggestions are just rough ideas, so they can be modified as needed to fit better into the game.
