Diet
A large part of the Arizona gray squirrel's diet is made up of walnuts. It also eats fungi, pinecones, juniper berries, nuts, acorns, berries and seeds. When it cuts pine cones to feed on, it carries the whole cone to the trunk of the tree before removing the seeds.
Reproduction
Breeding season runs from April to May. Several males will chase a single female. Gestation lasts about two months. A leaf nest is made in a tree. The female has two to four babies.
Behavior
The Arizona gray squirrel is just as likely to flee from a threat by running on the ground as it is to climb a tree. It also will remain completely still when it wants to avoid detection.
