How is the grey squirrel attacking the red squirrel?
Yes they do:( Years ago, the world was full of red squirrels but a grey squirrel was found and was bought in to our country and the grey squirrel bred with another grey and soon there were loads of grey squirrels, and they were all wiping out the red squirrels which is why there are not many red squirrels around these parts anymore. The grey squirrels stole their food and destroyed their homes ever since :'( x x x x Don't know about the imported Grey Squirrels "destroying" the Reds' homes, but they out-competed the latter for food. It wasn't deliberate massacre! In the UK there are still a few colonies of the native Red Squirrel, such as Brownsea Island and areas of The Lake District and Cumbria _ I have seen one in Appleby-in-Westmoreland. They are seen in North Wales too I believe. I've noticed that the grey squirrels in my area of Southern England seem to be more orange-tinged than a couple of decades or so ago. May be my imagination, but is this common for the species? What's their normal colour in the US and Canada?
Do gray fox get along with red fox?
NO they don't. Let me tell you the whole entire story (its true, believe me). 130 years ago, there were red squirrels all over the UK. Then some man found a few grey squirrels and thought he'd catch them and introduce them to the UK and then they all began breeding and making more and more grey squirrels but the grey squirrels began killing all the red squirrels so there's not many left. There's loads in Scotland - they look after red squirrels and try to kill all the grey. Red squirrels can't fight back because they're a bit smaller and very timid and friendly. They don't have a single violence in their body. I'm a girl who loves animals, a crazy animal-lover, and I want all the grey squirrels and red squirrels to be alive but someone needs to do something to the grey squirrels. I wish they all got along.
Squirrels are classified in the same family as mice and the same phylum as weasels Do squirrels have more in common with mice or with weasels Why?

Would you classify red squirrels and grey squirrels as specialist or generalists?
Red squirrels are generally considered specialists, as they primarily rely on specific habitats, particularly mature coniferous forests, and have a diet that heavily depends on pine seeds. In contrast, grey squirrels are classified as generalists because they can thrive in a variety of habitats, including urban areas, and have a more diverse diet that includes nuts, fruits, and even bird eggs. This adaptability allows grey squirrels to occupy a wider range of environments compared to red squirrels.
