Uncle Ruy's Corner

The red squirrel has a weight Of
only about half pound, and is only
about II inches long, counting its
tail.
Gray squirrels are much larger.
When full-grown, eastern gray
squirrels measure about 18 inches.
Half of that length is made up Of
the tail.
The so-called Western gray squir-
rels'' live along the Pacific coast.
They are larger than their Eastern
cousins. Hawks, foxes and red squir-
rels are among their special enc
mics.
The largest squirrels on this con-
tinent are found in Southern and
Southeastern parts of the United
States. They are the fox squirrels.
which range from Louisiana to
Florida, and northward into Vir-
ginia.
Fox squirrels have an average
length of Is inches, with the tail.
The tail alone Is as long as a red
squirrel!
They find and eat mushrooms,
berries and wild fruit. Sometimes
they feast on ears of corn which
are in the milky stage"
They use Spanish moss for their
nests. They bite off the scales OF
pine cones so they can reach and eat
the seed parts.
Besides the common fox squirrels
which I have described, there are
several relatives. These are not
quite so large on the average. One
of them is the yellow-bellied fox
squirrel which ranges through the
Mississippi valley from Louisiana
to wisconsin. Another is the white
bellied fox squirrel, found chiefly
in Pennsylvania, Virginia and West
Virginia. Il
The Malobar squirrels of SOUTH
western India are the largest in the
world. They reach a length of 81
inches. counting the tail. One Malo-
bar squirrel may weigh as much as
nine red squirrels.
