The Hidden Secrets of Extraordinary Squirrels.birder king

@The squirrel family is among the most diverse of all modern mammals, with more than 278 species and 51 genera thriving everywhere from Arctic tundra and tropical rainforest to farms, suburbs, and big cities. 1 It includes a variety of tree squirrels and flying squirrels,but also many ground-dwelling species-like chipmunks, prairie dogs, and marmots—that may be less obviously squirrelly to casual observers more familiar with bushy-tailed acrobats. Nonetheless, they're all members of the taxonomic family Sciuridae, which is native to every continent except Australia and Antarctica.Squirrels get a lot of attention from humans,but not always for good reasons. We tend to dwell on negatives like stolen tomatoes and occupied attics, sometimes failing to fully appreciate the long, mostly harmless, and often entertaining history of squirrels living in our midst.This softer side deserves attention, especially since squirrels are among the most visible wildlife in many big cities and suburbs. They're widespread and widely liked, and despite a knack for mischief, rarely inspire quite the same scorn as other, more garbage-prone city animals like rats, pigeons, or opossums. They're like furry little forest ambassadors,using parks and backyards as their urban embassies. Yet even for people who see squirrels every day, this diverse family of rodents can be full of surprises. Here are a few interesting facts you may not know about these charismatic opportunists who share our habitats.The squirrel family also includes more sociable types. Prairie dogs, for example, are social ground squirrels with complex communication systems and large colonies, or "towns," that can span hundreds of acres. The largest town on record was a Texas colony of black-tailed prairie dogs that stretched about 100 miles (160 kilometers) wide, 250 miles (400 kilometers) long, and contained an estimated 400 million individuals.birder king Don't forget to share and comment and like,subscribe subscribe this channel.   / @wildanimalslife2   #wildlife#wildlifephotography#birdphotography #wildlifeplanet#birdsofinstagram#animals#wildlifeonearth#birdwatching#bird #WildAnimalsLife2
