North American Red Squirrels can be found generally in most regions of america where conifers are common. Inside the southern Rockies there's a subspecies that is certainly often refered to since the Spruce Squirrel. It isn't practically as red as the squirrels found further north. Actually, the squirrel outlined on this site would most likely 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 can be found throughout its range, these are some 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 is often reported that predators likely eat few adult squirrels inside 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 live to achieve one year old. One study exhibited that females that survive to no less than twelve months old contain the average life span of 2.3 years. Maximum ages usually are about eight years for Red Squirrels.

Red Squirrels usually only partner only one time a year, and females get into estrus only one day each year. This is exactly what is actually a spontaneous ovulator.
