I think that Greys are omnivorous (like humans, pigs and rats) wheras Reds have a quite narrow range of suitable foodstuffs, nuts? (ripe acorns /pine cones etc) primarily, unfortunately the greys are prepared to eat the acorns before they are ripe, tough for the Reds.

I suspect that the Reds ability to survive in conifer woodland is due to the different, more random/ extended in time, way pine cones mature and ripen.

So in this environment the Reds have a more equal chance.

Someone correct me if I am wrong.

cheers

and bah humbug
