13132583. Red squirrel, Sciurus vulgaris
Red squirrel, Sciurus vulgaris. The red squirrel is found in both coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf woodlands. The squirrel makes a drey (nest) out of twigs in a branch-fork, forming a domed structure about 25 to 30 cm in diameter. This is lined with moss, leaves, grass and bark. Tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also used. The red squirrel is a solitary animal and is shy and reluctant to share food with others. However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. Copy space. Portugal Date

Red Squirrel - The Master of DIY Homes and Winter Cuddles!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this adorable photo print, we witness the incredible craftsmanship of the red squirrel, also known as Sciurus vulgaris. With its nimble paws and keen eye for design, this little woodland creature creates a cozy drey out of twigs in a branch-fork. Talk about architectural genius! Measuring around 25 to 30 cm in diameter, this domed structure is not only stylish but functional too. Lined with moss, leaves, grass, and bark, it provides the perfect sanctuary for our furry friend. But wait! That's not all - tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also on their real estate radar. Although typically solitary animals who prefer to keep their food to themselves (who can blame them?), during winter they make an exception. Several red squirrels may gather together in one drey to share body heat and stay warm during those chilly months. With copy space surrounding this delightful image captured in Portugal by Mary Evans Picture Library on March 24th, 2020; let your imagination run wild! Whether you're daydreaming about these talented architects or simply appreciating nature's wonders – there's no denying that these vibrant red squirrels bring joy wherever they go. So grab your own slice of woodland paradise with this print – because when it comes to home-building skills and snuggly winter cuddles, nobody does it better than our charming red squirrel friends!
