Fox Squirrel on Coast Live Oak Tree in Del Monte Forest, CA.

“Fox Squirrels and Gray Squirrels are vocal. Have you been the target of their scolding? It’s a loud, staccato, clucking sound accompanied by a fast, swishing tail and “get outta here” stare! "

“Vocal communication is very prevalent in mammals, especially squirrels. It has
been suggested that squirrels' vocal behaviors function as alarm calls to warn others of
predators in the area (Thompson et aI., 2012).”

“Squirrels will give alarm calls to attacking predators in order to alert them that they have been seen and therefore discourage the attack (Sherman, 1985).”
