Caucasian Squirrel
Sciurus anomalus
The Caucasian squirrel is an agile tree squirrel of forests, orchards, and wooded hills from the Caucasus through parts of the Middle East. It is mostly diurnal, moving through branches with quick leaps and using its long tail for balance. Its diet centers on nuts, seeds, acorns, buds, fruits, fungi, and occasional animal matter such as insects. A notable trait is its variable coat color, which can range from grayish to reddish or dark brown depending on region and season.
