Grey squirrel
Grey squirrel
This eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) was in the Walled Garden of Silverburn Park, near Leven, where they are common. The grey squirrel is not a native of the UK but is an introduced species. They carry a disease called 'Squirrel Pox' to which they are immune but which kills the UK's native red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) and as a result are now the dominant squirrel species in the UK.
