I’m beginning to think Mother Nature made us from the supervolcano recipe and we turned the oven back on.
Humans are way better than squirrels, whatever the color tbh
Have you ever tried to talk to a squirrel? It's a nightmare. The are all so self centered, its insane

I had several older generation relatives, that would describe how cute they are, if you have squirrels in your garden, if they get used to you, and begin to come close.
We are trying to create conditions to attract squirrels here, even if they never get close, they are so cute when they show off their amazing acrobatics in the trees.
Bonus trash panda
Literally never seen one. See a grey every single week though.
I can export a ton of these bastards to breed with the remaining population. Careful though, they will fight you
Already there, it's the reason they are threatened.
Reintroduction of pine martens seem to be doing the trick though.
Didn't the article say grey squirrel? This is a fox squirrel. Granted I don't know much about the UK's squirrel population. Glad to hear they are on the rise again.
I worry that if the pine martins aren't introduced quickly enough, the grey squirrels will have time to develop a fear of them before they're all eaten, and then the weaker reds will become the easier prey. At the moment, they're not even being deployed fast enough to preserve the status quo.
I learn this just after leaving England
Which is why the law demands trapped greys are culled.
This is so strange. Near me the greys are protected.
We used to have both the smaller red squirrels and the slightly larger grey squirrels in Canada where I live. I haven't noticed any of the red squirrels for a few years now.
Tribal cannibalism
My favourite native animal. There's a ton of them where I live
Only the strong survive.
MAGA squirrels
