British Wildlife Series • 4m 12s
The Red Squirrel is the UK’s only native species of squirrel, and was once common across the UK, but now are listed as threatened due to the introduction of the non-native grey squirrels from America. Unfortunately Grey squirrels carry a disease, known as squirrel poxvirus, which does not effect them but can be deadly to the native reds.
