Nativeness Notes
The eastern gray squirrel ranges the eastern United States and the Carolinas (Whitaker, 1980; Webster et al., 1985). In York County I found this species in the following topographic map quadrangles: Catawba, Clover, Filbert, Fort Mill, Lake Wylie, Lowrys, Rock Hill East, Rock Hill West, Tirzah and Van Wyck. Cloninger et al. (1977) reported this species in the Catawba Northeast quad in Lancaster County. The South Carolina Department of Natural Resources reported S. carolinensis in Cherokee, Union, and Lancaster Counties. Lee et al. (1982) recorded this species in Mecklenburg County, as well. Habitats included mixed pine-hardwood forest, residential areas, riverine forest and upland hardwood forest.; Data Source: Fields 2000
