Cairngorms National Park in winter
Red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), RSPB Loch Garten, Speyside, taken by David Palmar. To deal with the cold temperatures of winter, the red squirrel's coat and tail become thicker. They also develop these impressive ear tufts which can grow up to 3cm! In the summer months their coat and tail thin out again and they completely lose their ear tufts.
