North American Red Squirrels are located generally in most aspects of the united states where conifers are common. Inside the southern Rockies there exists a subspecies that is often refered to as the Spruce Squirrel. It isn't practically as red since the squirrels found further north. Actually, the squirrel outlined on this site would definitely be considered a Spruce Squirrel (it had been filmed at 10,000 legs in high altitude near Fairplay, Colorado).

 There are many pets or animals that eat Red Squirrels. Without all predators are situated throughout its range, these 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, it has been reported that predators likely eat few adult squirrels of 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 succeed in 1 year old. One study exhibited that females that survive to a minimum of 12 months old possess the average life time of 2.three years. Maximum age brackets are often about eight years for Red Squirrels.

Red Squirrels usually only partner only once each year, and females enter estrus only 1 day per annum. This is exactly what is really a spontaneous ovulator.
