TIL some folk have never seen a European Red Squirrel and think they’re Polish
Red squirrels that live in poland are polish. The species name can be whatever, if it eats and sleeps in poland wilds its gonna be polish
You can tell cos they speak Polish.
It was the Lonsdale slip ons that made me realise it was Polish.
I’m not sure, I think we need to see It’s papers…
Calm down Adolf
Papers please
I mean, Poland IS in Europe so I’m afraid this title is pedantically correct.
I got this off Bluesky. No, squirrels in North America are mostly grey or black, and the red ones we do have in woodsy areas definitely don’t have these ears.
It’s a European red squirrel mate, I promise. The biggest population I’ve seen is on King Charlie’s Balmoral estate in Scotland
Yep they’re also all over the place in France
Wrong. This is a Polish Squirrel and you can tell because of its straight ears.
Swede here, this looks just like a normal squirrel we have here
They’re very different in North America.
Yes they’re correcting you because you said it was polish
Well that’s what the guy on Bluesky said lol.
Honestly never heard of Blue sky, are you going to tell us it’s a YT Channel ?
No it’s a social media app, a Twitter clone made by Jack Dorsey formerly of Twitter before old shit face bought it. It’s ok.
My pappaw would probably say it’s so their head doesn’t get stuck in the pickle jar or something. Classic Pappaw.
Non-polish squirrels have gay ears.
Straight squirrels have polish ears
Beautiful little redhead.
Cute redhead eating nuts
The US has the https://www.nps.gov/band/learn/nature/aberts-squirrel.htm which has similar ears.
Never seen that one either!
If this squirell is this friendly and trusts people this much you must be in the Park Łazienkowski in Warsaw.
These are all over Europe
