The gray squirrel is one of the easiest animals to obse. It is found in parks and woods among both coniferous and deciduous trees, which provide plentifulsources of food.
A squirrel's den canbe found in a hollow tree or built between sturdy branches. Winter and breeding nests are usually larger than the summer nests and they built of sturdier material.
If you find an abandoned baby squirrel, it is best to leave it alone, since it must be fed every two to four hours for several weeks. Gray squirrels do not make good pets and may carry rabies.
