The Red squirrel Sciurus vulgaris has a dense dark coat of silky fur in winter and extra-long ear tufts. They do not hibernate over the winter months and cannot go more than a few days without food. Red squirrels prefer a habitat of large forested areas providing a high-level thoroughfare through the canopy where they are safe from predators and have year-round food from cone seeds, buds, shoots and pollen. They also forage on the ground for acorns and beech mast.
