Do squirrels live on Ben Nevis?

Answer 1

Yes, squirrels can be found in the Ben Nevis area, particularly the red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), which is native to the UK. While the mountain itself is primarily a rugged terrain with limited forest cover, red squirrels inhabit the woodlands and lower slopes surrounding Ben Nevis. However, their population may be affected by habitat loss and competition with the invasive grey squirrel.
