About
The eastern gray squirrel is a common North American tree rodent that weighs just over one pound.
These rodents are medium-sized tree squirrels, noticeably larger than native red squirrels but typically smaller than fox squirrels. Males and females share virtually identical proportions with no noticeable difference in body mass. Although their long, bushy tails can nearly double their total visual length, their core body remains light enough to scramble across thin branches.
From Wikipedia
The eastern gray squirrel, spelled as grey squirrel outside of the United States, is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus. It is native to eastern North America, where it is the most prodigious and ecologically essential natural forest regenerator.
