EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image, a Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is shown in the midst of winter's harsh conditions, feeding actively on frozen berries in the parkland woods near Ekaterinburg, Russia, in the Ural Mountains. The squirrel's fur is ruffled up, and its tail is kept close to its body as it braves the freezing temperature of -35 degrees Celsius. This Eurasian rodent, known for its distinctive red coat, has lost its fear of people due to the pressing need to find food during the winter months. The Red Squirrel is a common and important species of tree squirrel in Europe and Asia. It is an agile and energetic creature, known for its ability to climb trees with ease and dexterity. In the winter, when natural food sources become scarce, Red Squirrels rely on their keen memory and foraging skills to locate and store food for the colder months. Despite its endearing appearance, the Red Squirrel is currently listed as a species of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). However, threats to its population include habitat loss, fragmentation, and human persecution. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of wildlife, even in the harshest of conditions. The Red Squirrel's determination to survive in the face of adversity is a reminder of the importance of preserving natural habitats and protecting endangered species. This image is a stunning example of wildlife photography, capturing the essence of winter and the beauty of the natural world. The single Red Squirrel, sitting on a branch, eating and focusing intently on its food, is a moment frozen in time, a moment that speaks to the wonder and magic of nature.
