Each litter has an average of three young. The range of the Eastern Grey Squirrel stretches from southern Canada down to Florida, from the East Coast to Texas. Although black ones are almost non-existent in the southern U.S., they are more common farther north in Canada. Squirrels generally live by themselves. However, during severe cold spells, squirrels will share a home with a friend to conserve body heat.
Squirrels often bury their nuts.
However, they don't find them again by memory. They use their acute sense of smell for that. Many buried nuts are never seen again until they grow into trees. As you can see, squirrels are an important part of the ecosystem in forests. Squirrels can reach speeds of 25 kilometers per hour, but don't expect them to be running marathons anytime soon.
