The European red squirrel has several adaptations that aid its survival, including its bushy tail, which helps with balance and navigation through trees, and serves as a parachute to slow falls. Its sharp claws allow for efficient climbing, while its keen sense of smell helps locate food, primarily nuts and seeds. Additionally, the red squirrel's fur changes with the seasons, providing camouflage against predators in varying environments. These adaptations enhance its ability to thrive in forest habitats across Europe.
Birds of prey, such as goshawks and pine martens eat European red squirrels. Domestic cats also like to eat European red squirrels.
Squirrels have adaptations for survival in the wild. Their main adaptations for survival is storing nuts and berries for the winter.

European red squirrels eat a varied diet that includes nuts, seeds, fruits, fungi, and insects. They are also known to feed on bird eggs and nestlings, as well as tree sap and bark.
Sometimes they do. Indeed there is a whole genus called pine squirrels living in North America. It has three species of squirrels: the American red squirrel, the Douglas squirrel and Mearns squirrel. The American red squirrel should not be confused with the European squirrel.

The Red Squirrel was originally from Scotland and the Grey Squirrel from America. They both thrived in their separate lands until someone brought over the Greys to the UK. They reproduced rapidly and stole the Red Squirrels food and attacked Red Squirrel populaces. Now the Red Squirrel is endangered. But NOT exctinct. The Grey Squirrels have not got rid of the Red Squirrels.
