The Eastern Fox Squirrel
is a non native Invasive species to California.
They were first introduced to Los Angeles California in
1904. They are North America's largest tree squirrel, with reddish-brown bushy tails living to about 6 years in the wild to 10 years in captivity. They are active in the day, adaptable to forests, farms, and cities, eating mostly nuts, seeds, fruits, and fungi, breeding twice a year, raising 2-4 young, and thriving in human-altered landscapes and some experts suggested they are threatening/ driving out native species like the western gray squirrel.
