A gray squirrel is a small to medium-sized rodent belonging to the Sciuridae family. Known for their bushy tails, gray squirrels typically have gray fur with white underbellies. They are agile climbers and are commonly found in wooded areas, urban parks, and suburban neighborhoods. Gray squirrels are known to forage for nuts, seeds, fruits, and insects, and are known for their scavenging behavior around bird feeders. They are highly adaptable and are considered a nuisance by some due to their habit of raiding gardens and bird feeders.
