Grey squirrels average about 10 inches in length, 4-4.5 inches tall, and weigh between 1½ to 2 pounds. Their tails are 8-10 inches long with a scaly grey or brownish coat. Colouration varies across regions of North America and Europe as they adapt to their highly varied habitats and climates. They have five distinct toes on each hind foot (including the dewclaw), which helps them climb trees very efficiently, but they use all four paws while running on the ground. The muzzle is broad; the overall body shape is round with a large head that has prominent black eyes and rounded ears.

Squirrels can carry a variety of diseases, including rabies, tularemia, and plague. They can spread these diseases through their saliva, urine, or droppings. They can also contaminate food with their saliva or droppings.

Squirrels communicate by changing their postures, feathering their tails, arching or flicking their ears, and migrating to higher perches.

While squirrels have a negative impact on trees, they have been known to strip them of their bark in search of tree sap. These practices can slow the growth of the trees or even kill them.
