omg didn't know that dammeee - I only ever see grey ones
@Rocking Ros Rose posted:omg didn't know that dammeee - I only ever see grey ones
grey ones were introduce and carry squirrel pox virus which normally doesn't kill them, but it kills red ones 
I googled to explain it better Ros, it's a better explanation than mine 
Why are red squirrels endangered? The red squirrel is officially classed as Near Threatened in England, Wales and Northern Ireland but is locally common in Scotland. ... Grey squirrels carry a disease, a Parapoxvirus, which does not appear to affect their health but often kills red squirrel
