As beautiful as his tail is, he deserves to be shown in his full size. And yes, I’m sure it was a he. And no, I won’t make any jokes about a squirrel and his nuts.

Oh, red squirrels. Lucky you! We only have grey.

I’ve been wondering … as I mentioned to Alice, in Germany we think of squirrels almost exclusively as red (I added another photo). But on photos from the UK I’ve only seen grey ones. However, in children’s books (i.e. The Gruffalo, The Squirrels who squabbled, The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, to name but a few) they are often depicted as red as well.

That’s because they always used to be. The grey ones have driven them out, except in the far north.

I hope that doesn’t happen here. But it is happening with other species (i.e. the local ladybugs are being driven out by a Chinese variety).

It probably depends where you are. I only ever saw ginger ones until I visited Munich. Black ones there.

The iconic image of a squirrel in Germany is red. I added a poster to the post, warning about forest fires, if you want to have a look. (PS: Munich is different. Always has been, always will be 😉
