Red squirrels[edit]

where are red squirrels native to in North America? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.156.108.52 (talk) 22:22, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Our article on the American red squirrel has a map with its distribution. --OuroborosCobra (talk) 23:30, 8 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Although the OP probably knows this, casual readers should be aware that this is not the same species as the Eurasian red squirrel, which is not native to North America although there may well have been past attempts to introduce it. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.20.195} 2.122.2.158 (talk) 08:56, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This reminds me of the problem of the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow. The two species of red squirrel are even in different genera, although in the same tribe. --Lambiam 11:00, 11 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
