Red squirrels were first reported on Jeju by Oh (2006b), however, the subspecific status is unknown. On the Korean peninsula, red squirrels prefer coniferous forest and this is the main pest species of pine cones. According to the National Park rangers, pet squirrels were released around 2000. Red squirrels are thinly distributed in coniferous forests of southern Jeju.
