The Living Forest (729) : Red Squirrel

Description

Deep down in the forest I spotted this red squirrel looking for (beech)nuts.

Beech nuts are high in fat which is very necessary for the squirrel in cold winter times.

Dutch name : Eekhoorn
German name : Eichhörnchen
Latin name : Sciurus vulgaris
