Squirrel $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Squirrels belong to a large family of small or mediumsized rodents called the Sciuridae. The family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots (including woodchucks), flying squirrels, and prairie dogs. Squirrels are indigenous to the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa and have been introduced to Australia. Squirrels are first attested in the Eocene, about forty million years ago, and are most closely related to the mountain beaver and to dormice among living species. The word squirrel, first attested in 1327, comes via AngloNorman esquirel from the Old French escurel, the reflex of a Latin word sciurus which was itself borrowed from Greek. The word itself comes from the Greek word, skiouros, which means shadowtailed, referring to the bushy appendage possessed by many of its members.
