Eekhoorn (Red Squirrel) 001263

            The red squirrel or Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus common throughout Eurasia. The red squirrel is an arboreal, omnivorous rodent.

In Great Britain, Italy and Ireland, numbers have decreased drastically in recent years, a decline associated with the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from North America, although habitat loss is also a factor.

De eekhoorn is 18 tot 24 centimeter lang en 250 tot 350 gram zwaar. De borstelige pluimstaart is 14 tot 20 centimeter lang. Het is een omnivoor, die tot de knaagdieren behoort.

Anders dan de naam doet vermoeden, kan de kleur variëren van zwart tot gelig, met allerlei tinten rood en bruin daartussen. Gewoonlijk zijn de dieren roodbruin met een witte buikzijde, 's winters meer grijzig donkerbruin. De kleur wordt ook grijsachtiger naarmate de eekhoorn ouder wordt. De oorpluimen vallen vooral in de winter op. Een eekhoorn kan de haren op de pluimstaart opzetten.
