Description

The American red squirrel is one of the smaller tree squirrels, head and body measuring 16-23 cm, and the tail 9-16 cm. Body-weight ranges from about 140-310 grams. The red squirrel first appeared 10,000 years ago, at the end of the last ice age, when the land between Britain and Europe began to disappear. Squirrels have an exceptionally good sense of smell. They can find buried food underneath a foot of snow and know if a nut is rotten without opening it. Red squirrels can jump more than 2m and survive a fall of more than 12m without injury. American red squirrels are well adapted for climbing and running through the trees with their compact, muscled bodies, strong claws, and powerful hind limbs, but they also spend much time on the ground. An individual usually has several nests, which may either be loosely constructed tree nests, holes in a tree trunk or weather-tight winter nests constructed in the densest foliage of a tree. Red squirrels are strong swimmers.
Captured in Wellesley, Massachusetts
