Its denser winter fur and tufted ears make it one of the most striking species in our forests. The red squirrel is native to the forests of Europe and large areas of Asia, where it feeds mainly on seeds, nuts and fungi. To face the winter, it hides food in different places and builds nests high in hollow trees, well protected from the cold. In Spain, it can be seen mostly in northern forests, such as those of the Cantabrian Mountains and the Pyrenees, although its color can vary from deep reddish to dark brown. A curious fact is that each squirrel creates hundreds of food hiding places, and some forgotten ones help regenerate the forest. Discovering the red squirrel is an excellent excuse to enter our natural spaces and get to know the richness of the Iberian fauna up close. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/piccolo-81.jpg) [Ardilla roja euroasiática](https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=5a3db327d20fcc5a06f343ab740358f02c1853fcb25ed87c3e61c04ee0b72a08JmltdHM9MTc2ODUyMTYwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=2cac6815-1c5c-666a-3216-7ea91d7b671a&u=a1L3NlYXJjaD9xPUFyZGlsbGEgcm9qYSBldXJvYXNpw6F0aWNhJkZPUk09&ntb=1&ref=truthdead.com) La imagen de hoy retrata a una ardilla roja euroasiática posada sobre la nieve. Su pelaje invernal, más denso, y las orejas con mechones la convierten en una de las especies más llamativas de nuestros bosques. La ardilla roja es nativa de los bosques de Europa y de amplias zonas de Asia, donde se alimenta principalmente de semillas, nueces y hongos. Para afrontar el invierno, esconde comida en distintos lugares y construye nidos en lo alto de árboles huecos, bien protegidos del frío. En España, puede observarse sobre todo en bosques del norte, como los de la cordillera Cantábrica y los Pirineos, aunque su color puede variar del rojizo intenso al pardo oscuro. Un dato curioso es que cada ardilla llega a crear cientos de escondites de comida, y algunos olvidados ayudan a regenerar el bosque. Descubrir a la ardilla roja es una excelente excusa para adentrarse en nuestros espacios naturales y conocer de cerca la riqueza de la fauna ibérica. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/piccolo-82.jpg) Scoiattolo rosso eurasiatico L'immagine di oggi ritrae uno scoiattolo rosso eurasiatico appollaiato. Il suo pelo invernale più fitto e le orecchie a ciuffo lo rendono una delle specie più sorprendenti delle nostre foreste. Lo scoiattolo rosso è originario delle foreste europee e di vaste aree dell'Asia, dove si nutre principalmente di semi, noci e funghi. Per affrontare l'inverno, nasconde cibo in diversi punti e costruisce nidi in alto su alberi cavi, ben protetti dal freddo. In Spagna, si può osservare soprattutto nelle foreste settentrionali, come quelle dei Monti Cantabrici e dei Pirenei, anche se il suo colore può variare dal rosso intenso al marrone scuro. Un fatto curioso è che ogni scoiattolo crea centinaia di nascondigli per il cibo, e alcuni dimenticati aiutano a rigenerare la foresta. Scoprire lo scoiattolo rosso è un'ottima scusa per entrare nei nostri spazi naturali e conoscere da vicino la ricchezza della fauna iberica. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/Ardi-1.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/Ardi-2.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/Ardi-3.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/Ardi-4.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/Ardi-5.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/Ardi-6.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/Ardi-7.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/Ardi-9.webp) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/ardi-11.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/piccolo-83.jpg) Part of the editorial constellation: [The mouth of truth](https://truthdead.ghost.io/?ref=truthdead.com) ↔ [HandsomeGuys](https://handsome-guys.ghost.io/?ref=truthdead.com) ↔ [HandsomeGuys Gay](https://handsome-gay-guys.ghost.io/?ref=truthdead.com) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2026/01/piccolo-84.jpg) SPONSORED [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/cf/d5/cfd5c74f-e78a-43ea-ad52-365f274f5037/content/images/2025/12/BCO.45716498-7f4c-4d25-9904-9cac0bf36e03-1.png)](#/portal/signup) ***The Mouth of Truth is a reader-supported publication.
