The red squirrel occupies a niche as a tree-dwelling herbivore primarily found in coniferous and mixed forests. It plays a crucial role in seed dispersal, particularly for pine and spruce trees, which helps maintain forest ecosystems. Additionally, red squirrels contribute to the food web by serving as prey for larger predators, such as hawks and foxes. Their foraging behavior also influences the growth and regeneration of forest flora.
