Inside the southern Rockies you will find there's subspecies that is certainly often refered to because Spruce Squirrel. It isn't practically as red since the squirrels found further north. Actually, the squirrel outlined on this site would certainly be considered a Spruce Squirrel (it absolutely was filmed at 10,000 legs in high altitude climates near Fairplay, Colorado).

 Like the majority of squirrels, the North American Red Squirrels have high ahead of time mortality. No more than 22% of young survive to reach 12 months old. One study exhibited that females that survive to a minimum of twelve months old contain the average life span of 2.36 months. Maximum age ranges are generally about eight years for Red Squirrels.

Red Squirrels usually only partner only once or twice each year, and females access estrus just one day each year. This is exactly what is really a spontaneous ovulator.
