thats cool Eddie  8)

but where did that squirrel ever find a taxidermist to make a mount of that kid  :o

Badger:
  Eddie, that looks like and about the same size as the one I was talking baout, mine might be a bit fatter but looks about the same. Maybe it is a fox squirrel. Steve

Cacatch:
Now the head on that one looks bigger and fatter than on the ones here, but ours are mostly the same color as that one. We do have greys here I know that, and as said above they are supersmart and fast, and then we have some that are red or reddish grey, but they don't seem quite as big as that guy. I will say this though, if you get ahold of a 2 year old or older male red he will have a tough hide. I tried to poke the tip of my freshly sharpened pocket knife through an old buck's hide once, and really had to work to get it in there. 

wally:
He looks bigger than most grey squirrels here in England. Maybe they grow bigger there.
 Our native squirrel is the red which is smaller and more wary than the grey and usually solely a woodland animal. They grey was introduced here from America (I don't know why?) and being bigger and bolder than our red has virtually taken over and wiped out the red. The native reds are still strong in some areas of UK but the grey is taking over their territories and wiping them out gradually. The red is a protected species here now. I've never seen one around here in the south.
