Their fur can slightly change in winter which is also when their characteristic ear tufts develop. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eRed squirrels live for three years on average, although they have been known to live up to ten years in safe enclosures. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThere is a perception that red squirrels prefer living amongst conifers and, though they successfully exist in pine woods – rather more so than the grey squirrel – ideal population densities of red squirrels will occur in mixed or broadleaf woodlands. Red squirrels are becoming increasingly restricted to conifer forests by competition from encroaching grey squirrels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe red squirrel or Eurasian red squirrel is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus common throughout Europe and Asia. The red squirrel is an arboreal, primarily herbivorous rodent. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eIn 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 stabilizing due to conservation efforts, awareness and the increasing population of the pine marten, a European predator that selectively controls grey squirrels. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe red squirrel, like most tree squirrels, has sharp curved claws to help it to climb and descend broad tree trunks, thin branches, and even house walls. Its strong hind legs let it leap gaps between trees. The red squirrel also can swim. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe coat of the red squirrel varies in color with time of year and location. There are several coat color morphs ranging from black to red. Red coats are most common in Great Britain; in other parts of Europe and Asia different coat colors coexist within populations, much like hair color in some human populations. The underside of the squirrel is always white-cream in color. The red squirrel sheds its coat twice a year, switching from a thinner summer coat to a thicker, darker winter coat with noticeably larger ear-tufts (a prominent distinguishing feature of this species) between August and November. A lighter, redder overall coat color, along with the ear-tufts (in adults) and smaller size, distinguish the red squirrel from the eastern grey squirrel. The red color offers camouflage when seen against the bark of pine trees. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium; color: #0000ff;\"\u003eThanks for visiting Collectible Wildlife Gifts, the leading provider of high-quality, lifelike animal Designs and gifts!
