There are two species of squirrel here in the UK, the grey and the red. The red is our native species and has lived here for around 10,000 years, Grey squirrels were introduced from North America by the Victorians in the 1800s.”
In November 2021, we held a fun art contest that included cats and squirrels. It was a fun event to bring awareness to animals while connecting with our readers. It also promoted J.M. Northup’s book, FELINE FASCINATION: The Adventures of Boris and Olga
