red squirrel
Tufted forest acrobat
A red squirrel is a small tree-dwelling rodent with reddish-brown fur.
In North America, the term refers to a common species found across forests, known for its chattering alarm calls and territorial behavior.
In Britain, the native red squirrel has been largely displaced by the introduced gray squirrel: Red squirrels are now rare in England.
