Eastern Gray Squirrel | KET Image Bank
The eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is native to the United States and found in the eastern and Midwestern part of the country. These squirrels prefer densely wooded areas because they build their dens in trees, but they also can be found in suburban and urban areas, often living in neighborhoods and backyards.
