North American Red Squirrels are situated generally in most aspects of the usa where conifers are normal. Inside the southern Rockies there exists a subspecies that is often refered to because Spruce Squirrel. It isn't practically as red since the squirrels found further north. Actually, the squirrel outlined on this web site would most likely be considered a Spruce Squirrel (it was filmed at 10,000 legs in the mountains near Fairplay, Colorado).

Red Squirrels usually only partner just once a year, and females enter into estrus only 1 day per year. This is exactly what is in reality a spontaneous ovulator.
