Fox Squirrels Mating

Mating starts at 2:16. • The mating chase stops at that time, and the bigger female defense attacks decrease in intensity as she nears oestrus (ready to accept a male and mate). • Fox Squirrels mating on Coast live oak tree. • ““The fox squirrel can mate at any time of the year, but mating usually reaches its peak in December and June. Usually, more than one male will chase or follow a female. The successful male will then protect the female from the other males. 45 days after mating the female gives birth to a litter of two to four young, usually in a nest in a hollow tree. She may have two litters a year. • The young are born naked and blind. Their eyes will open when they are five weeks old, and they are weaned when they are eight weeks old. They will begin to climb about the tree when they are seven or eight weeks old and climb down to the ground at about ten weeks. They are independent when they are about three months old.” • https://nhpbs.org/natureworks/eastern...
