NINJA RED SQUIRREL
A NINJA red squirrel cuts a dashing figure as the little fella jumps up to ten-feet between treetops in the Yorkshire Dales. England's last wild red squirrels may be hemmed in by their grey cousins - but they're still leaping free in their own woodlands. Springing over SIX-TIMES their 18-inch body length, if we humans were as good at jumping as these lords of the forest we would be able to jump clean over a Ford Transit van. Photographer Simon Phillpotts from Wensleydale, North Yorkshire took the pictures as part of a project celebrating the agile skills of Yorkshire's red squirrel population.
