The Western Gray Squirrel (Sciurus griseus) is native to the western United States, particularly in California, Oregon, and Washington. It is larger than the Eastern Gray Squirrel and has a silvery-gray coat, with a white or light-colored underbelly. Western Gray Squirrels are arboreal creatures and prefer coniferous forests. They are primarily herbivores, feeding on nuts, acorns, and seeds. These squirrels are also known for being cautious and more secretive compared to their eastern counterparts.
