North American Red Squirrels are located generally in most areas of the united states where conifers are common. Inside the southern Rockies there is 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 most likely be considered a Spruce Squirrel (it was 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 situated throughout its range, they're a number 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 in early stages mortality. No more than 22% of young make it through to achieve one year old. One study exhibited that females that survive to no less than twelve months old hold the average life of 2.36 months. Maximum age ranges are usually about eight years for Red Squirrels.

Red Squirrels usually only partner just once a year, and females get into estrus just one day yearly. This is exactly what is really a spontaneous ovulator.
