Squirrel Appearance & Identification

What Does A Squirrel Look Like? Squirrels are adorable, small mammals from the rodent family. They’re easily spotted by their large, fluffy tails. These creatures are known for gathering nuts to prepare for winter. There are mainly three kinds: tree squirrels, ground squirrels, and flying squirrels. Their appearance varies depending on where they live. Typically, they measure between 12 to 25 inches. Their fur, which is usually quite soft, comes in shades like black, brown, gray, and red. Some squirrels have stripes or lighter fur on their undersides. Interestingly, a few change their fur color with the seasons.

Understanding Squirrels

To spot squirrels, it’s helpful to know their behaviors and preferred environments. Squirrels that live in trees often make their homes in high places such as tree cavities, house attics, and spaces within walls. In the U.S., the most seen tree squirrels are black, gray, red, and fox squirrels. Conversely, species like marmots, chipmunks, prairie dogs, and other ground-dwelling squirrels create burrows in the ground. These may sometimes be mistaken for gophers, moles, or voles due to their less bushy tails. Unlike these other burrowing animals, ground squirrels are frequently seen above ground.

Squirrel Habits

As rodents, squirrels’ teeth continuously grow and need regular gnawing to stay short. Tree squirrels often chew on things like electric cables, wooden boards, and garbage bins, particularly when trying to access food or shelter. Flying squirrels can be a nuisance to other wildlife, taking over bird feeders and nesting in birdhouses. The burrows of ground squirrels can cause tripping hazards or damage to garden tools. Since squirrels can carry diseases that might transfer to humans, it’s advisable to seek professional help for their humane removal.
