These agile creatures are highly adaptable, thriving in both woodland and urban areas. Their diet primarily consists of nuts, seeds, buds, and flowers, though they are known to occasionally indulge in insects and small animals. Eastern Gray Squirrels play a crucial role in their ecosystems by dispersing seeds, thus aiding in forest regeneration. Typically, these squirrels are active during the early hours and late afternoon, avoiding midday heat. Mating seasons occur twice a year, with peak times in late winter and late summer, leading to a fascinating display of chases and acrobatics among prospective mates.
