Kikis.nature🇺🇸: The Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), often known simply as the squirrel, is a rodent in the squirrel family (Sciuridae). It is the only member of the squirrel genus that occurs naturally in Central Europe and is also known as the European red squirrel to distinguish it from other species such as the Caucasian red squirrel and the grey squirrel, which is naturalized in Europe. The squirrel’s body structure is adapted to a tree-dwelling and climbing lifestyle. It weighs around 200–400 g. The head-body length is 20–25 cm. The bushy tail, which is covered in two rows of hair, is 15–20 cm long. It serves as a balancing aid when climbing and as a rudder when jumping. The tail is always held in the air when running.

Es ist der einzige natürlich in Mitteleuropa vorkommende Vertreter aus der Gattung der Eichhörnchen und wird zur Unterscheidung von anderen Arten wie dem Kaukasischen Eichhörnchen und dem in Europa eingebürgerten Grauhörnchen auch als Europäisches Eichhörnchen bezeichnet. In seinem Körperbau ist das Eichhörnchen an eine baumbewohnende und kletternde Lebensweise angepasst. Es wiegt etwa 200–400 g. Die Kopf-Rumpf-Länge beträgt 20–25 cm. Der zweizeilig behaarte, buschige Schwanz ist 15–20 cm lang. Er dient beim Klettern als Balancierhilfe und beim Springen als Steuerruder. Beim Laufen wird der Schwanz stets in der Luft gehalten.
