The gray squirrel has gray fur and a white to cream belly. It has a long ears with no tufts and a fluffy tail edged in white. It is about 16-20 inches in length.
The gray squirrel lives in deciduous forests with walnut, sycamore, oak, cottonwood and pine trees. A large part of the gray squirrel's diet is made up of walnuts. It also eats fungi, pinecones, juniper berries, nuts, acorns, berries and seeds. When it cuts pine cones to feed on, it carries the whole cone to the trunk of the tree before removing the seeds
The gray squirrel is just as likely to flee from a threat by running on the ground as it is to climb a tree. It also will remain completely still when it wants to avoid detection.
