the average person’s understanding of the “squirrel” could stand expansion. most people think of grey squirrels and red squirrels. urge them to think a little harder and they might come up with chipmunks and flying squirrels, while asking “i mean, do those really count?”
prepare yourselves.
first up, red squirrels and grey squirrels (classic):
chipmunks (nightcore ass animal):
african pygmy squirrel (the smallest Squirrels):
thirteen-lined ground squirrel (fancier than you):
prairie dog (insanely intelligent and social):
marmots/groundhogs (the Biggest squirrels):
flying squirrels (how does she do it):
Indian Giant Squirrel (And why he ourple😂):
there are 200+ species of squirrel out there their family is one of, if not the most diverse of the rodents
“Of course I know about squirrels,” you say. “My back yard is full of them!”
Friends, this is the range of the southern FLYING squirrel:
And even if you live in the area, I bet you’ve never seen one.
