There are 23 native woodland mammals and then a further 13 species of bats found in the UK. There are several species like the Red squirrel and Badger that are under threat and are monitored closely by wildlife organisations..
Grey Squirrel
Tree-climbing nut buriers. Scampering grey squirrels are a familiar sight, but sadly these American imports have had a disastrous impact on the native red squirrel.The red squirrel is smaller and is in decline as the grey squirrel has a bigger appetite and so there is not always enough food left for the red squirrels.
