Mating of Eastern Grey Squirrels???

Need information on mating of Eastern Grey squirrels and how they communicate with others.Mating of Eastern Grey Squirrels???
Hi there...here's a information on mating rituals of the Eastern Grey Squirrels:


The Eastern Gray Squirrel is a hardy squirrel that breeds twice a year. They go through an odd little mating ritual, which includes a sprint through the forest after a fierce battle to determine who's top dog among males. Once this has been decided, the female and the top male mate, and babies are born about a month and a half later. The baby squirrels are born in a nest built by the mother, and three months later, are ready to leave the nest and strike out on their own.

Communication:


Its large tail, fun to observe, provides protection, shade and warmth, and assists with communication and balance. If a squirrel is caught by its tail, the tail can break at the mid-point and allow the squirrel to escape.
