Yes, I am hanging. So what?by *woxys

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Wild Animals

Wild crazy Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris, Veverka obecná) from ZOO Nuremberg, Germany

Story of the photo: I visit ZOO Nuremberg very rarely, but almost everytime I get there, I see this red squirrel on the same place, so I guess it is always the same animal. This time, the cutie got crazy - it was close to me, just above my head and it was TALKING with a voice of a snarrling cat, saying ,,MÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ!" all the time. Crazy!

Gift for my best friend *Allerlei

INFO ABOUT THE ANIMAL:

Name: Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris)
Location: Europe, Asia
Size: 23 cm long body + 20 cm long tail weight: up to 340 g
Diet: seeds, nuts, fungies, berries, but also bird eggs
Conservation status: Least Concern
Interesting facts: although they are called RED, red squirrels can have also brown or even almost black coats. Belly is white | although red squirrels are not endangered right now, American grey squirrel, which got to Europe, can be a danger for them, as grey squirrels are able to eat also acorns (red squirrels are not able to feed on acorns), so they have easier life in Europe and they are a serious competition for native Red squirrel. Also, they carrie an illness, which is fatal for Eurasian red squirrels. Grey squirrels caused serious decrease of number of Red squirrels in UK | red squirrels can reach 7 years in the wild | female squirrel can give a birth two times a year – they can have 2-6 babies | squirrels are evil! (now let’s see, who really read this description ;D)

The Schönbrunn garden in Vienna quite literally swarms with these, and they are not afraid. They eat right in your hand and even sometimes climb on people ^^. This one is very cute

I know, I fed them in Vienna too

So that's what the red squirrel looks like.

Here in the US I have seen some grey squirrels with a bit of the red squirrel color mixed in their fur.

I don't see squirrels as evil. I like them and find them amusing to watch, several years ago I had the privilege to hand feed one a few peanuts. He ate them right next to me, the last one I gave him he carried away with him, most likely to his nest.

I love them too, squirrels are funny and it is great to hand feed them, you are right
