Pointers regarding squirrels

The grey squirrel is a medium-sized rodent that is typically light to dark grey in colour but can also be black. They have long bushy tails and big ears. In addition, they have sharp incisors, which they use to nibble on tree bark, nuts, and other plant material. Male and female squirrels are about the same size, but males have bigger tails. Squirrels typically live for around two years.

Squirrels reproduce once a year, typically in late winter or early spring. Gestation lasts around 44 days, and the young are born naked and blind. They weigh around 1/10th of an ounce (3 grams) and are about 3 1/2 inches (9 cm) long. They are weaned at around six weeks old and reach sexual maturity at around eight months old.

There is evidence that squirrels strip tree bark in search of tree sap. Trees will be stunted or even killed if this is done, damaging the ecosystem. This can be especially harmful in areas where trees are already scarce.

Squirrels typically eat nuts, seeds, and fruit. Small animals and insects are also eaten. Squirrels will cache (store) food items in the ground or in trees for later consumption.

Squirrels communicate with each other through a wide range of vocalizations. They also produce a variety of sounds to indicate their mood, either during interactions or just while roaming around. Chatter teeth are one type, which sounds like teeth clacking together and are made when the animal is frustrated or excited.
