Eastern Gray Squirrel

Sciurus carolinensis

Description:

The gray squirrel’s appearance differs seasonally. The yellowish brown summer coat becomes thicker and gray in winter, the pelage of some individuals strikingly silver-gray. Underparts and eye-rings are buffy brown to white, usually lighter in winter.

Habitat:

The deciduous forests of the eastern half of North America provide optimum habitat for the gray squirrel but the range includes portions of the mixed forest in southern Canada.
