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, primarily herbivorous rodent. \nIn Great Britain, Ireland, and in Italy numbers have decreased drastically in recent years. This decline is associated with the introduction by humans of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) from North America. However, the population in Scotland is stabilising due to conservation efforts, awareness and the increasing population of the pine marten, a European predator that selectively controls grey squirrels.\nDistribution:\nRed squirrels occupy boreal, coniferous woods in northern Europe and Siberia, preferring Scots pine, Norway spruce and Siberian pine. In western and southern Europe they are found in broad-leaved woods where the mixture of tree and shrub species provides a better year round source of food. In most of the British Isles and in Italy, broad-leaved woodlands are now less suitable due to the better competitive feeding strategy of introduced grey squirrels (source Wikipedia). \n\nIn the Netherlands this Species is quite common in Forests and Parks.

Albino squirrels, which are extremely rare in nature, were found in Washington D.C., United States. It is found in nature with its completely white fur on the National Mall in the city. Albinism is considered a genetic anomaly defined by the complete or partial absence of pigments. Those who live in or visit the Capitol have the privilege of seeing these red-eyed albino or white squirrels born with a 1 in 100,000 chance. Scientists estimate that only 20 of the 2 million squirrel population in the United States are albinos. Experts warn that these unique creatures of nature should be protected in their own environment and not fed by others.

The Abert's Squirrel (Sciurus aberti woodhouse) is commonly found anywhere in the American Southwest where there are enough Ponderosa pine trees to supply the squirrel’s nutritional needs. Identified by their dark gray backs with a red-brown patch, the most distinctive feature of Abert's squirrels are their big tufted ears. The hair on the ears actually grows longer in the fall and winter. Abert's squirrels feed on the cones, buds, and twigs of Ponderosa pine trees as well as fungus and tree sap. They find their food high in the trees by jumping from branch to branch with no apparent fear of heights. The favorite food of the Abert’s squirrel is the cones of the Ponderosa Pine. The relationship between the squirrel and pine tree is very interesting and complex. The tree provides the squirrel with the nutrition it needs while the squirrel helps the tree by spreading ectomycorrhizal fungi spores which are beneficial to the survival of the Ponderosa Pine. This Abert’s Squirrel, with its long tufted ears, was photographed while sitting on a branch near Walnut Canyon Lakes in Flagstaff, Arizona, USA.
The Brevard white squirrels, with dark eyes and sometimes gray streaked fur, are not albinos but a white variant of the eastern gray squirrel, and make up almost a third of Brevard's squirrel population. In addition to Brevard, white squirrels have been spotted in Olney, IL; Versailles, IL; Hodgenville, KY; Marionville, MO; Trenton, NJ; Bloomfield, NY; Greenwood, SC; and Kenton, TN.
