About
The eastern fox squirrel is the largest tree squirrel native to North America, reaching nearly two feet in length.
This species is notably larger than both the eastern gray squirrel and the American red squirrel. Males and females share similar dimensions, with their bushy tails making up nearly half of their overall length. Despite their relatively heavy bodies, they remain fast and capable tree climbers.
