Whether taking a walk through a forest, relaxing in the park, or admiring a garden, there will most likely be a squirrel in your path.
The mammals are prolific around the world, indigenous to every continent except Australia and Antarctica.
In Europe and northern Asia, one native species is the red squirrel, which has distinctive tufts on its ears and a russet brown colour.Endemic to North America, the grey squirrel was brought to Europe in 1876 and has dominated the squirrel population ever since. The numbers of the indigenous red squirrel have subsequently been decimated while grey squirrels have flourished. In order to halt the rapid reproduction of grey squirrels, conservationists have introduced predators of the species.Where red squirrels use their agility, speed, and small size to avoid becoming prey, grey squirrels are not as lucky.
