Do you know Poppy Desk Guardian red squirrel? She is not so pretty but in life this squirrels very very beautiful.

I'm sorry I hijack hedgehog thread with the red squirrel.

Mott2020, This is a good thread to place comments about squirrels. So that lovely red squirrel is from the British Isles. Odd to think that they are being pushed out by the North American gray squirrel. Our small "red" squirrels routinely push the larger gray squirrels around. If a red and gray squirrel are battling for feeder space, the red squirrel almost always wins. Sometimes I look under my birdfeeders and a red squirrel will control the entire area directly under the feeder while the gray squirrels are cowering in the fringes of the feeder area. I love red squirrels because they are so cranky and most other animals won't mess with them.
