Grey squirrels are generally fairly rich greys, with brown highlights on their back and lighter grey underneath. Their tails usually run to just past their shoulder blades. Their ears are very large and can be flipped down or up depending on the environment they're in - in colder weather, they wear them down like cuffs, so heat doesn't escape from their extremities. They will flip them up on warmer days to expose more blood flow to the ear tissue and cool off. Grey squirrel teeth are pretty sharp if you get too close; under no circumstances should one ever pet one of these animals for fear of being bitten!

Squirrels typically use one of three types of vocalizations to communicate: Mate (chatter), Unsolicited call and Solicited call. The mating call is a series of short, high-pitched notes used when two squirrels encounter each other in the wild. The unsolicited call is a single note that's typically uttered when a squirrel meets an unexpected event, such as a predator or something that startles it. Finally, the solicited call is a long, drawn-out whistle that's used to summon another squirrel - usually a juvenile that's been separated from its parents.

A grey squirrel typically mates twice a year, usually in February and May. An average pregnancy lasts 44 days, and the offspring are born naked and blind. They weigh about 1/10th of an ounce at birth and are completely dependent on their parents for survival. The young are weaned at around six weeks old and reach sexual maturity at around 6-8 months old.
