It's #RedSquirrelAwarenessWeek! Here are some top facts about our favourite fiery friends...

📏they have an 18-24cm body, with another 17-18cm of tail,
⏰ an average lifespan of 6 years,
🌲 and live in nests called 'dreys' high up in trees.
🌰 They don't hibernate, but do store food for harsher times.
🧮 Their population is about 140,000 - compared to 2.5 million grey squirrels
🌍 and they could become extinct in as little as ten years if drastic measures aren't taken to #ReviveOurWorld
