The life cycle of a squirrel begins with birth, as baby squirrels (kits) are born blind and helpless after a gestation period of about 44 days. They are weaned at around 8 weeks and start to explore their surroundings. As they mature, squirrels reach sexual maturity at about 10 months, allowing them to reproduce. In the wild, their lifespan can range from 6 to 12 years, depending on factors such as predation and habitat.
