This is a short video from the Welsh language children's programme 'Y Sioe Wyllt'. In the video Huw Denman and Phil Harries go trapping squirrels in a Carmarthenshire forest managed by Huw. They manage to catch a red squirrel which is released back into the wild and the presenter Elain and Dei explain how the grey squirrel has caused the red squirrel to become almost extinct in Wales, except for a few conifer woods in mid Wales and in Anglesey and in Clocaenog forest in north-east Wales.

The video first appeared on S4C on the children's programme 'Y Sioe Wyllt' (The Wild Show). and was produced by Aden Productions.

Dangoswyd y fideo byr yma yn gyntaf ar rhaglen Y Sioe Wyllt yn gynarach eleni. Yn y fideo mae Huw a Phil yn trapio wiwerod yn coedwigoedd bythwyrdd yn Sir Gaerfyrddin. Mae nhw'n llwyddo dal wiwer goch ac yn eu rhyddhau nol i'r gwyllt, ac mae Elain and Dei yn disgrifio sut mae'r wiwer lwyd wedi llwyddo i wthio'r wiwer goch o'i gynefin naturiol ac sut erbyn hyn mae ond yn bosib gweld nhw yn rhannau o'r canolbarth, Sir Ddinbych ac Ynys Môn. Cynhyrchwyd yr eitem gan cwmni Cwmni Aden.
