Squirrel portrait
The red squirrel has a typical head-and-body length of 19 to 23 cm ( to 9 in), a tail length of 15 to 20 cm ( to in) and a mass of 250 to 340 g ( to 12 oz). It is not sexually dimorphic, as males and females are the same size. The red squirrel is somewhat smaller than the eastern grey squirrel which has a head-and-body length of 25 to 30 cm ( to 12 in) and weighs between 400 and 800 g (14 oz to lb). It is thought that the long tail helps the squirrel to balance and steer when jumping from tree to tree and running along branches and may keep the animal warm during sleep. There have been over 40 described subspecies of the red squirrel, but the taxonomic status of some of these is uncertain.
