As squirrels age, they often experience a decline in their physical abilities, making them less effective at foraging, climbing, and escaping predators. Older squirrels may also face increased competition for resources and are more susceptible to diseases and injuries. Their reproductive capabilities diminish, leading to fewer offspring. Ultimately, many older squirrels succumb to predation, environmental challenges, or health issues, leading to a shorter lifespan compared to their younger counterparts.
