Fox squirrels are slightly larger and more reddish than gray squirrels, with an orange rather than whitish fringe on tail. It can be distinguished from other Kansas members of its family by:
1) tawny brown to reddish-orange upperparts which are grizzled with gray,
2) pale rufous or orange underparts,
3) prominent ears colored ochraceous inside, and 4) tufts behind the ears being fulvous rather than white as in the gray squirrel.
Young are paler than adults, which are alike in both summer and winter. The fox squirrel, and tree squirrels in general, differ from ground squirrels in lacking cheek pouches, and in possessing longer and bushier tails.

No, they are completely different animals. A fox is similar to a dog. A squirrel can climb trees and they eat nuts.

No, squirrels are not baby foxes....
Foxes get big, squirrels are small and live in trees, foxes live in hole in the ground or hills and also eat different things!
