Red squirrels were common (常見的) in British forests and countryside. But there are1than 140,000 red squirrels left now and most of them are in Scotland. However, grey squirrels are now so common that many people2them. They can hunt and kill them legally (合法的).
The two types of squirrels look similar. They both have a long3, which helps the squirrel to jump from tree to tree, and the same large eyes, small ears and powerful back legs.4, the grey squirrel has a clear advantage (優(yōu)勢) over the red. The red squirrel has a head—and—body length of 19 to 23 cm and a tail length of 15 to 20 cm. But the grey squirrel is a5animal. The head—and—body length is between 23 and 30 cm. This6allows (允許) them to store more fat and7them to live in a hard winter.
So why is the number of red squirrels smaller than that of grey squirrels? Size is one reason, but there are others. Red squirrels live high up in8, while grey squirrels spend more of their time on the ground. This means the missing of forests greatly influences the red squirrel's population. Another reason for the grey squirrel's success (成功) is its9to get food easily from people. Like the fox, the grey squirrel10live in towns and cities. The other problem for the red squirrel is illness, it is fatal (致命的) to them.
