Taxidermy. A Pair of Red Squirrels

SOLD

Latin: Sciurus vulgaris

Size: approx. 56.5cm x 41cm x 12.5cm

Description: The Victorian firm of Hutchings operated in Aberystwyth for many years and their compact, well designed cases almost always remain in excellent condition - a testament to their skilled craftsmanship. Although once common, Red Squirrels are now threatened with extinction in Britain due to severe competition from their Grey Squirrel relatives which were introduced to the British Isles from their original North American home.
