Don't speak so soon. Look for a mutation or gene drift that produces an allele that renders a section of its population immune. It may have significant population loss which might ruin its diversity, but it could make a full comeback. I expect to see the red squirrel experience a bit of microevolution since nature always has a habit of finding a way.

Doesn'T take a virus to see red squirrels loosing ground to grey ones. It's old news. The grey ones simply are more aggressive and expand at alarming rates, they are also slightly bigger in size. the problem exists since many years in the better part of Europe. The reds are loosing.

Grey is no colour, so these grey squirrels are improperly dressed and are not regular squirrels and thus are not protected by the Geneva convention. Confess your colour, and death to all grey squirrels! We have our own squirrels, and they are much cuter!

I also have a red squirrel on my balcony, visiting me regularly since over two years. when I sit out there and do not move or only very slowly, it even sits on the table next to me, eventually even on my knee, and accepting nuts from the palm of my hands. Yeah, yeah, I know about the risk ob being bitten and getting infected with some desease, but I know this one since he was - hm, much smaller in size. We trust each otherk, you know.

He has a black dot at the tip of his tail, I can recognize him easily from any other squirrel around. A couple of times he even hopped into my main living room, had a look and checked some things, and then left again.

Charming!

Yes!

But i see it as a Symbol for Western "Culture Invasion" in Europe. Don't understand me Wrong, i love Mc Donalds, but enought is Enought. Now They already want to Destroy our Squirrels...:rotfl: (Slightly Joking)

The Native Red ones get Bushed...err...Pushed Back by the Rude Grey ones.
I don't like This. I wanna Keep my Commie Squirrels!

We have declared squirrel jihad upon your infidel heads for infiltrating your brown trout (brownshirt trout) over here, which is displacing our innocent mujahadin brook trouts.

Hey!!

The article said "North American". They could be from Canada or Mexico.

Imagine this - Grey squirrel does Red squirrel and and the appropriate allele is transfered, resulting in a hybrid squirrel which is neither Red nor Grey and is immune. Microevolution on a gene flow basis.
