Gray squirrels are quite used to humans and many will come close to people hoping they will be fed. However, squirrels deserve our respectful distance. They have very sharp teeth and sharp claws and defend themselves by biting and scratching if they are startled. However, they are fun to observe. Think of it like this — people are HUGE to the little squirrels. If a HUGE animal tried to play with you…would you defend yourself? Of course! So treat them with gentle respect…and they can be wonderful “wild friends”.
