Sciurus carolinensis
The gray squirrel has a head and body 8 to 10 inches long, with a hairy tail of 7 to 10 inches. Some gray squirrels have weighed up to 11⁄2 pounds, although they average just slightly over 1 pound. Mostly they are grayish, but some are black or albino. Although color phases may vary, Mississippi has only one subspecies of the gray squirrel, S. carolinensis.
