Squirrel mating | Reproduction #90

Squirrels reproduce through sexual reproduction, typically engaging in mating rituals during the mating season. Female squirrels give birth to litters of baby squirrels, called kits, after a gestation period of about four to six weeks. Squirrel mothers are responsible for caring for and nursing their young, providing them with essential nutrients and protection. The kits stay with their mother until they are old enough to venture out on their own, usually after a few months. Squirrel populations are influenced by factors such as food availability and environmental conditions, impacting their reproductive success.
