Red squirrels are enjoying a nutty revival thanks to a stealthy forest assassin which is gobbling up their grey cousins.

Pine martens are stoat-like hunters which petrify the native bushy-tailed rodents but dozy greys are oblivious to their threat, a new study has found.

Numbers of native reds are soaring as they have lived alongside the predators for centuries and are wise to their wily ways. The cat-sized mammals are part of the weasel family and are critically endangered across the UK.
