Eurasian Red Squirrels live in Europe and Asia, and Grey Squirrels live in the USA. Other than that, there really is no difference between them, only their color.
Addendum to above answer:
Actually, it depends on which type of Red Squirrel you are referring to. There is an Eurasian Red Squirrel which is native to Europe and Asia, and there is an American Red Squirrel as well. Both the Eurasian and American Red Squirrels are smaller than Grey Squirrels with the only other differences being the difference in the color of fur and the fact that Eurasian Red Squirrels have ear tufts that neither the American Red Squirrel or the Grey Squirrel have.

What are some reasons that explain why flying squirrels are endangered?
They stand more than grey squirrels, so they are noticed more and get killed by predators. The population of red squirrels dropped and the grey squirrels passed on grey genes to their offspring. This is repeated over generations.Hey presto!You have more grey squirrels than red!The main factor is that the Grey Squirrels came over to the UK (I'm not sure where from) and started eating more food then was fair for them, obviously not intentionally because animals don't think in that way. This meant there was a lack of food for the Red Squirrels, and so they became very rare. Although they can still be seen (if you're lucky!) in a few woodlands in the West Country and Scotland.Hope this helped! If so, please support me by recommending me as a contributor. Also, anyone else who may know more about this subject than me, please feel free to add to this answer.Thanks,DB9EDIT:Although the Grey's eat more food than the Red's, this is intentional, as it's part of their competitive nature. Also the introduction of Grey's from America brought the Squirrel Poxvirus with them, which is another large factor to the decline of the Red Squirrel population.zoner9

What factors have contributed to decrease in red squirrel numbers?
Some factors that have contributed in the decrease if red squirrels are:- -Grey squirrels are immune to a disease called 'poxvirus' or more commonly known as 'Squirrel Pox' where as red squirrels are not and it causes the red squirrel or 'Fox Squirrel' to die out. -When grey squirrels were introduced many red squirrels were in britain, but now because the population of grey squirrel is far greater than that of the red squirrel, when the two types of squirrels compete for food, shelter etc, the grey squirrel will always come out on top - If you get what I mean :p That's about all I've got at the moment!

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?
