The squirrel, red squirrel or common squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a rodent in the family of squirrels (Sciuridae). The species' scientific name was published in 1758 by Carl Linnaeus,[2] and it is the most common squirrel species in Europe.
Characteristics
A squirrel eats a nut
The squirrel is 20 to 28 centimetres long and weighs 250 to 350 grams. Its bushy bushy tail is 15 to 20 centimetres long. It is an omnivore, belonging to the rodents.
Unlike its name suggests, its coat colour can range from black to yellowish, with all sorts of shades of red and brown in between. Melanism occurs, but the extent to which individuals are melanistic varies by region. Usually the animals are reddish brown with a white belly side, more greyish dark brown in winter. The colour also becomes more greyish as the squirrel ages. The ear tufts are particularly noticeable in winter. A squirrel can raise the hairs on the plume tail.
