Grey
A grey or red squirrel is a common nuisance in the UK. These creatures are not only adorable, but can also cause structural damage to homes. In addition to their destructive nature, they can also become health hazards for humans and pets. In the UK, they are one of the most common intruders, and they may damage woodwork, electrical wiring, and even produce droppings. For these reasons, it is illegal to release them back into the wild.
This is a common behavior for the gray squirrel, which has two breeding seasons a year. It is not unusual for females to enter estrus around five months old. Females normally begin exploring the world outside their nests between six and eight weeks old. At ten weeks old, these squirrels are ready to leave the nest. However, it is possible to observe female gray squirrels caring for their young, even when they are in the presence of a male.
Fox
In the beginning of The Little Squirrel Who Worried About the Fox, the young squirrel was too worried to go to his favorite tree and collect acorns.

Through his fear and anxiety, the little squirrel learned to face and conquer his fears. Here are some lessons that we can learn from the little squirrel.
The fox squirrel is the largest species of tree squirrel in Indiana. It grows between seven to twenty-two inches long, including the tail. It weighs one to two pounds.

A fox squirrel is approximately twenty-one inches long.
