Hit by the car ahead of me. Dissection revealed 5 embryos. Interestingly, these squirrels are found at a friend's property but not at mine exactly 1 mile (1.61 km) away, despite the intervening area being heavily wooded. The friend reports that these squirrels feed on walnuts from the trees in his yard.
