abstract

The adapted translation of the article ‘On the red squirrel’ (Danylovych 1925), which was published in the journal of the All-Russian Industrial Cooperative Union of Hunters (the antecedent of the USHF, now known in Ukraine), is presented. The article contains valuable data on the distribution of the species in suburban green areas that have been preserved to this day (in particular, Pushcha-Vodytsia and Holosiivskyi Forest), important information on nest building, nest location and reproduction, and features of parental behaviour. The autumn aggregations of squirrels in feeding grounds are also considered. The morphological features (morphometry, colouration details) of the squirrels are presented. Data on the currently known museum specimens collected by the author are presented.
