American Red Squirrel

Tamiasciurus hudsonicus

Description:

The red squirrel is a small squirrel with reddish to reddish-gray fur on top and a white or cream underside. It has white around its eyes. Its tail is not as long or bushy as the tail of other tree squirrels. In the summer, the red squirrel may have a black stripe on its sides. Its curved front claws and powerful hind legs make it a very good climber and jumper!

Habitat:

Ponderosa Pine forest at Angel Fire, NM.
