North American Red Squirrels are located generally in most parts of america where conifers are routine. Inside the southern Rockies there exists a subspecies which is often refered to since the Spruce Squirrel. It isn't practically as red because the squirrels found further north. Actually, the squirrel outlined on this website would certainly be a Spruce Squirrel (it had been filmed at 10,000 legs in the mountains near Fairplay, Colorado).

 There are many pets or animals that eat Red Squirrels. Without all predators are located throughout its range, they are many of the key predators: Coyotes, Bobcats, Canadian Lynx, Great Horned Owls, North Goshawks, Red-tailed Hawks, North American Crows, Red Foxes, North American Marten, Wolves, and Weasels.  Yet, this has been reported that predators likely eat few adult squirrels within their normal diet.

 Like the majority of squirrels, the North American Red Squirrels have high early on mortality. No more than 22% of young pull through to arrive at 1 year old. One study exhibited that females that survive to at the very least 12 months old have the average life span of 2.36 months. Maximum ages are usually about eight years for Red Squirrels.

Red Squirrels usually only partner only once annually, and females enter estrus only one day per year. This is exactly what is really a spontaneous ovulator.
