About Squirrels

The Little Rock gray squirrel is prominent throughout most of the U.S. especially forests in ht eastern half of the country. Its appearance changes drastically with the seasons. Its light brown summer coat becomes thicker and turns to gray in winter. Its underbelly and around its eyes is usually tan to white. The backs of the ears and neck tend to be a darker almost cinnamon color, with white tips in the winter. Its bushy tail measures 7-10 in which is usually about half the length of the Arkansas squirrel. Its tail has long wavy hair alternate with brown and black bands at the base, with a white underside... An adult grey squirrel weighs about 1.5 lbs



The Little Rock gray squirrel prefers forest full of deciduous trees (whose leaves turn brown in the fall), but its territory includes portions of the mixed forests in southern Canada. It likes to live in old-growth hardwoods (like beech, oak, and cherry). This squirrel is very adaptable and can be found in the wild, as well as parks, towns, and neighborhoods. It can forage in the wild, or be right at home eating out of your bird feeder or outside feed bowls. The Arkansas squirrel constructs a nest that looks like a dome-shaped mass and is comprised of twigs and leaves. I is built with an inner chamber of, shredded bark and soft leaves They have also been known to build a leafy nest in a hollow tree.

Its primary diet consists of seeds and nuts they also enjoy tender stems, buds, and flowers of hardwoods. Gray Arkansas squirrels will also feed on berries, fungi, lichens, and fleshy fruits especially during the summer months. During this time, they will eat 2-4 pounds of food per week to maintain their super high energy levels. With the coming of autumn, the squirrels begin to thinks about storing more food. Squirrels typically try to store 3 years worth of food each year to account for loss by weather, or other scavengers. , the Little Rock squirrels will throw nuts (like acorns) from the trees, and scatter them on the ground below. In winter, they will use their keen sense of smell to retrieve them, even under the snow. They also often hide nuts and seeds in the hollows of trees.

Squirrels do not hibernate, as many people believe. During the severe winter cold, Gray Arkansas squirrels stay in their scurries (nests) for several days at a time. In the winter, they will come out to forage in the afternoon when it is the warmest. During the rest of the year, they are most active for a few hours after daybreak, and just before dark. They prefer to spend the bulk of their day lounging in trees on wide branches, and basking in the sun. When mating season arrives, it finds them a bit more active during the heat of the day. At this time, the poly amorous Little Rock squirrels must turn their thoughts to breeding and procreation. During the mating ritual, 1-10 males “chase” a female that is “in season”. The dominant one of the males usually wins the female. Gray squirrels have two breeding periods per year.

One in late winter, and one in mid-summer. Litters are born during the months of March-April and again in July-August. Females that are two years old or older may bear two litters per year. Those females that are one year olds have only one litter. Gestation for the Little Rock gray squirrel is about 40 days, and there are between one and nine babies born in each litter. They are pink, hairless, and very blind at birth, weighing in at around half an ounce. In about one month, they will open their eyes, and begin to be more aware, moving around the nest. In a month and a half to two months, they will have a full coat of fur and begin to venture out the nest with their mother. They will be weaned between fifty and seventy days, but will not reach sexual maturity for months. Males can reproduce at about 7 months, female at around one year. Life expectancy is 1-6 years, depending on its living conditions. Arkansas squirrels in captivity have lived up to 20 years. Males are typically larger than females, and usually dominant. The exception is a female with a litter who will defend her area from all others. Although they do not live in groups, their areas will often overlap. Squirrels communicate through a wide variety of sounds, body language (especially the tail), and smell secreted by anal glands.

Arkansas squirrels are truly nature's acrobats. The put on amazing shows climbing, running and leaping tree to tree. Their long sharp claws give them grip on slippery bark. Their bushy tails aid in balancing them on precarious perches. Their long slender bodies leap through the air, twisting and turning to land on pencil-thin branches. If startled they will immediately freeze, flattening their entire body against a trunk or limb, always moving to stay hidden. They can be just as graceful on the ground. Squirrels can reach up to 15 miles per hour with the bouncing, running, leaping motions. Squirrels are also ample swimmers if it becomes necessary.
