In the United Kingdom, grey squirrels are one of the most common types of squirrel. Deciduous forests and mixed forests are ideal habitats, as well as in urban areas. Squirrels are tree-dwellers and mainly eat nuts, seeds, and fruits. They also consume insects, bird eggs, and small vertebrates. The grey squirrel was brought to England from North America in the 1870s. They are generally larger and robust with a grey-furred back, ears, and tail with an orange-tinted underside. Grey squirrels breed twice a year with litters of two or sometimes three young per litter. In all, there are around 5 million grey squirrels in the UK today! They are generally larger than other types of a squirrel. Without their tails, they can grow up to two feet in length. The tails of these creatures measure around 8 to 10 inches long.
