Habitat Suitability Index Models: Fox squirrel

January 1, 1982

The fox squirrel (Sciurus niger) is the largest of the North American tree squirrels. The species is widely distributed throughout eastern North American and has been introduced in many portions of the West (Wright 1979). Fox squirrels also have expanded their range westward through utilization of gallery forest habitats along major river drainages (Armstrong 1972; Wright 1979).
