Mammal of the Week



I thought I would devote some webspace to one of the mammals we have all been seeing splattered on the road this fall, the Eastern Gray Squirrel. I just wanted everyone to get a chance to see one that is still relatively three-dimensional. Eastern gray squirrels are native to most of the east coast. They can live anywhere from 12 years in the wild to upwards of 20 in captivity. They communicate between each other using vocal sounds, postures, and flicks of their bushy tails.
