Question: are there any red squirrels in wales?
Answer: Red squirrel. Red squirrels are rare in Wales. The main populations are on Anglesey, in Clocaenog forest and in mid-Wales, but there are a few other sites that still have red squirrels. The red squirrel is threatened by the non-native grey squirrel, through disease (the squirrelpox virus) and competition for food.
