SQUIRREL INFORMATION

Squirrels are part of the rodent family. There are 365 species of squirrels that are divided into seven families. The three most common are ground squirrels, tree and flying squirrels. The gray tree squirrel is the most common in the United states. The red squirrel is smaller than the gray squirrel and easily identified by its colors.

There are two mating periods for squirrels. Late winter is the most common mating season. If food is abundant than late summer a second litter can occur. Squirrels have four to a litter on average.
