Mexican fox squirrels are found in forests ranging from lowland Madrean forests (~1,500 meters) and mixed pine and oak to high altitude mixed coniferous forests <2,700 meters. Riparian areas with tall poplars and sycamores often support the highest densities. In the United States, the squirrel lives only in the Chiricahua Mountains in southeastern Arizona. Mexican fox squirrels live in forests that are frequently burned, becoming denser, and prefer areas with less open ground and tall trees of these types of forests.
There are three areas. Sciurus nayaritensis nayaritensis (Nayarit fox squirrel): southern part of the range. It is a smaller, more purple version. Sciurus nayaritensis apache (apache fox squirrel): northern and central part of the range. It is an intermediate region in size and color. Sciurus nayaritensis chiricahuae (Chiricahua fox squirrel): species found in the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona (USA). It is called redder. Attitudes and ways of life
