*** About Eastern Fox Squirrel: The Eastern Fox Squirrel, scientifically known as Sciurus niger, is one of the largest species of tree squirrels in North America. Commonly found in woodland and urban areas, this robust squirrel is recognized by its hefty build and variable coloration, which ranges from gray to black to the typical reddish-brown seen in many illustrations. Adapted to a diverse array of habitats, these squirrels are as comfortable in the sprawling parks of a bustling city as they are in quieter, wooded forests. Their diet is quite versatile, including nuts, seeds, fruits, and the occasional insect, contributing to their success across various environments. Fascinatingly, the Eastern Fox Squirrel plays a crucial role in seed dispersal, thus aiding the propagation of many tree species.:
