We recently welcomed our newest arrivals to the park, but let’s take some time to acknowledge Ruthven Falls’ longest-serving permanent residents!
Introducing Fernando and Kimi Antonutelli – two of a number of beautiful red squirrels that call our park their home. You can catch a glimpse of these little nutters munching away on treats left by our team in several of our exclusive squirrel lodges (which are sadly unavailable for bookings – sorry!)
Red Squirrels in Scotland
Native to the island of Britain, the Eurasian Red Squirrel is one of the most iconic and beloved mammals living within our woodlands. Populations of these charismatic critters are sadly under threat due to deforestation, as well as competition for resources and territory caused by the introduction of the American Grey Squirrel. The addition of this non-native species has been disastrous for Red Squirrel populations, with only an estimated 287,000 living in Britain.
Organisations like the Scottish Wildlife Trust are putting in place initiatives to slow the decline of the species, with the intention that they can once again thrive in their native habitat.
