squirrel

I have not much idea about squirrel species, I hope someone help us identifying this one

It's also my understanding that the red squirrel would be the common one in Croatia. Their coat colour can vary from red to black. I guess the size would be the definite factor to differentiate it from a potential grey squirrel invader: the Eurasian red squirrel is much smaller. In any case he was a lot of fun to watch!

I have read there are different melanic forms in some species of squirrels, and I think that the red one is the common one in Croatia but the grey one is an invader species which came from UK.
In google images I can see some of the same species when I look for 'black squirrel Croatia', but I don't know what is the real name of this species

I am looking for It in internet, and I don't find the species but I have seen a lot of photos of Croatian squirrels and they are very dark

Any idea what he is? He lacks brushes on the ears but could still be Sciurus vulgaris depending on the age/season. In my experience they are indeed very shy.

It was very fast and It never keep in a place for more than 3 seconds. Squirrels in Plitvice national Park (Croatia) are very shy, in other places they are very easy to observe.

I have and he was a lot of fun! I loved how you managed to follow him up and down the trees.

Watch me in the video!

Gracias por recordármelo Carolina

Noe, deberías entrar esta foto a la misión "Project Squirrel"!

I spent 14 days in Croatia last year and I visited Plitvice and Krka National Parks, these places are awesome and the beaches are perfect for diving, these have a very rich sea life. I enjoyed a lot in Croatia, I want to go again some day

how do you like our country? :-D
