Wikipedia
Red squirrel
The red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus common throughout Europe and Asia. The red squirrel is an arboreal, primarily herbivorous rodent. In Great Britain, Ireland, and in Italy numbers have decreased drastically in recent years. This decline is associated with the introduction by humans of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from North America. However, the population in Scotland is stabilising due to conservation efforts, awareness and the increasing population of the pine marten, a European predator that selectively controls grey squirrels.

red squirrel
A red squirrel is a type of small or medium-sized squirrel species known for its reddish-brown fur and bushy tail. Scientifically known as Sciurus vulgaris, it is native to the woodlands of Europe and northern Asia. This species is known for its arboreal lifestyle, strong hind legs, sharp claws, and superior leaping ability, which allow them to move effortlessly from tree to tree. Red squirrels mostly eat seeds, nuts, berries, and other vegetable matter but can occasionally feed on insects, small rodents, and bird eggs.

Examples of red squirrel in a Sentence
I have never seen anything like it before. The squirrel had its paw raised and the bird had its beak wide open, it was like they were going to have a fight. Karen Crawford, 59, captured the face-off as the pair appeared to be having a row over a handful of nuts on a tree trunk. In the shot, the red squirrel is perched vertically on a tree stump with its paw in the air, as the bird sits on the other side with its beak wide open. (Credit: SWNS) Perhaps even more remarkable, Crawford admitted she did not even realize she took the photos until she got home. I thought wow when I got home and saw the picture and the reaction I have had to it has been really strong.
