The eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis), is also known as simply the grey squirrel. It is a tree squirrel native to eastern North America, where it is the most prodigious and ecologically essential natural forest regenerator. It has been introduced to various places around the world, and in Europe into Ireland, Britain, and Italy. This has since become of concern because they have displaced some of the native squirrels.
