There are several species of squirrels in Michigan. These include common tree squirrels, thirteen striped squirrels, fox squirrels, gray squirrels, and even some flying squirrels in southern Michigan. Some squirrels may even be a mix.
Reproduction: Squirrels generally pair up with a mate for life. Once paired up, it may not be long before there are baby squirrels. Mature female squirrels may have young more than once a year. Babies may be born in the spring, fall, or both.
Distribution: Squirrels often will invade an attic or climb down into a chimney. Squirrels can very be destructive little animals. They chew wood, ductwork, and even electrical wires. Squirrels are a major cause of home electrical fires.
