Original artwork description:

Red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) are known for their striking orange-red fur, but their colouration can in fact be quite variable; from wheaten through ginger to dark brown. Their fur can slightly change in winter which is also when their characteristic ear tufts develop.

Red squirrels live for three years on average, although they have been known to live up to ten years in safe enclosures.
