The fox squirrel (Sciurus niger), also known as the eastern fox squirrel or Bryant's fox squirrel,[3] is the largest species of tree squirrel native to North America. It is sometimes mistaken for the American red squirrel or eastern gray squirrel in areas where the species co-exist, though they differ in size and coloration.[5]
