|
||
The Arizona Gray Squirrel forages heavily on the ground but also regularly uses the canopy. It feeds on tree seeds, flowers, and fungi. Seeds are removed from cones of pines (Pinus), Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), and true firs (Abies), all Pinaceae, and consumed. Acorns (Quercus) and walnuts (Juglans,Juglandaceae) are readily eaten when available. Hypogeous and epigeous fungi are also a common food. Insects are consumed opportunistically. The Arizona Gray Squirrel does occasionally scatterhoard large storable seeds in the soil.

|
||
The Arizona Gray Squirrel breeds in February—August during one day estrus when as many as eight males pursue females. Males possess scrotal testes from winter through summer. Testes are withdrawn into the abdominal cavity during the remaining months. Litters of 2—4 young are born in late spring or summer. Dreys and cavity nests are used to rear young that can emerge in May-September. During mild years, females may be able to produce a second litter.

Arizona Gray Squirrels are diurnal and active throughout the year. They have bimodal activity in summer with peak activity in the early morning and late afternoon; activity in winter tends to be unimodal and centered on midday heat.

|
||
The Arizona Gray Squirrel nests in dreys ofsticks, pine needles, and leaves in the forest canopy and in cavities in largediameter trees. Nest trees tend to be in the largest trees with the most interconnected canopies. Communal nesting is known to occur although the Arizona Gray Squirrel is best described as asocial. Male home ranges are extensive, 113 ha compared to 14 ha for females. Males maximize overlap with females, particularly during breeding. The Arizona Gray Squirrel is generally silent unless alarmed when will bark and chuck from elevated locations.

Classified as Data Deficient on The IUCN Red List. Population trend of the Arizona Gray Squirrel is unknown. It appears to respond negatively to high levels of fire damage but positively to modest levels. Introduced Abert’s Squirrels (Sciurus aberti) appear to replace the native Arizona Gray Squirrel in parts ofits distribution. Local people hunt this large-bodied squirrel for meat and sport.
