Hi there,

I have got you email off of Mark Carnall, the curator at Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy, I am a student at the University of Cumbria and I am about to start my dissertation, which will be looking at the responses/reactions red and grey squirrels have when they see a predator.

I will be using three different types of predators to cover ground, aboral and aerial threats, with a rabbit for control.

The reason for this email is I am looking for specimens of replicas of a Fox, Rabbit, Pine Marten and a Bird of Prey, such as Goshawk, Buzzard, owls or male Sparrow Hawk, (preferably goshawk) to use in my experiment.

If you could point me in the direction of where I could find replicas or specimens of these animals, I would be very grateful, any other help would also be very much appreciated.

Many Thanks

Felicity Sugden
