The life span of the squirrel is approximately six years. Most urban squirrels do not reach their first birthday. This is due not to predators, but rather to automobiles.

The potential life spans of some species of the squirrel family are known from captive specimens and, in a few instances, from studies of natural populations. Perhaps the longest-lived species is the eastern gray squirrel. An individual in the wild was recorded to have reached an age of 12 years, and one in captivity at the San Diego Zoo lived for more than 23 years.

Their lifespan typically ranges from one to three years in the wild, depending on where they live and what kind of predators they face. A captive raised squirrel can live up to ten years or more.
