Red squirrels inhabit coniferous forests and deciduous woodlands in Scotland, Northumberland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and the Lake District. The Red Squirrel is the UK’s only native species of squirrel, and was once common across the UK, but now are listen as near threatened due to the introduction of the non-native grey squirrels from America. The grey’s carry a disease, known as squirrel poxvirus, which does not seem to have any affect on them but can be deadly to the native reds. In this video, we travel to Jersey where we can observe the behaviour of the Red Squirrel and learn about their traits.
