There are about 300 varieties of squirrels around the world. In North America, there are ten. Examples are the red/brown squirrels that live in evergreen trees and eat seeds of pinecones and the gray squirrel, which lives in woods of oaks, ashes, and beeches and mainly eats beech nuts and acorns.

Their sizes vary considerably. For example, the gray squirrel can be up to three times as large as the red squirrel but smaller than a fox squirrel. A newborn gray squirrel is about one inch long and weighs as little as half and ounce to one ounce. The size of an adult gray squirrel is about 18 inches and can weigh up to a pound or more.

The average life span for a squirrel is 3-5 years. Mother squirrels usually deliver babies two times a year, with one to three babies each. Infants are born hairless, blind, and only about two inches from nose to tail. After about five weeks, the young squirrels' eyes open for the first time. The mothers do not allow them out of the nest until they are around 10 weeks of age.
