In the wild Red Squirrels eat a variety of foods including fungi, bird eggs, plus a wide variety of other seeds, nuts, dried corn, fruits, buds, bark, leaves, pine cones, and a variety of other plants and crops.

The Red Squirrel is smaller than the grey and is a warm reddish brown colour. It has a bushier tail of one colour and has long tufts on its ears in winter. The biggest threat for red squirrels are grey squirrels because they have diseases that red squirrels can die of.

The red squirrel is not well spread and can be found mainly in and the Scottish Highlands.

Threats

Changes in woodland management over past years have led to the decline of the butterflies.

Both Scotland and Spain have many species of forest creatures which are endangered. Each school chose 5 to find out about. These tables shows some of the information we found out. It is very interesting to learn about wildlife in another country. There are many similarities. One difference is Scotland does not have wild bears!
