Eastern Gray Squirrel
Nature's hyperactive moving targets.
Field Notes
SMALL GAME
Fast, skittish, and capable of climbing trees.
The Squirrel is the most common mammal you will encounter in the urban parks of Vice City. While they pose zero threat to the player, they are a testament to the detail of Rockstar's world-building.
Inheriting AI from Red Dead Redemption 2 , these animals react realistically to foot traffic and gunfire. Their unique ability is verticality: they are one of the few animals capable of escaping up tree trunks, making them difficult targets for hunters looking to test their aim.
