A little red squirrel has become an assistant at a new parish in the west of Moscow, and does a wonderful job of attracting children to the church...

Aren't red squirrels the ones that can attack humans by deliberately tossing acorns, etc.?

Here is news from Scientific American about red squirrels vs. grey squirrels (from the USA).

The American Greys are called "Killer Squirrels."
