The Safari Ltd. Grey Squirrel #296129 measures: 2.75" L x 2" T.
The hunched up pose of the figure adds to its charm, making it look like it's ready to scamper away at any moment. The little acorn in its mouth is a great touch, as it brings to mind the squirrel's habit of storing food for the winter or snacking on it immediately.

Grey squirrels are highly adaptable and have successfully established themselves in many parts of the world, including the United Kingdom, where they were introduced in the late 1800s. However, in the UK, grey squirrels are considered a pest as they compete with the native red squirrels for food and habitat, and can also carry diseases that are harmful to the red squirrels.
In terms of behavior, grey squirrels are diurnal and primarily herbivorous, feeding on nuts, seeds, fruits, and tree bark. They are also known for their ability to store food in preparation for the winter months, burying nuts and seeds in various locations and relying on their keen sense of smell to locate them later.
Grey squirrels are social animals and will often form loose associations with other squirrels, particularly during the mating season. They typically give birth to litters of 2-4 offspring, known as kits or kittens, and will raise them in a nest made of leaves and twigs.
