Fauna of Belarus: Eurasian red squirrel

Eurasian red squirrel is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus common throughout Eurasia.
Red squirrels occupy boreal, coniferous woods in northern Europe and Siberia, preferring Scots pine, Norway spruce and Siberian pine. In western and southern Europe they are found in broad-leaved woods where the mixture of tree and shrub species provides a better year round source of food.
