The purpose of the website is to present current, comprehensive
information about members of the family sciuridae (the squirrels).
Currenly only a few species are
represented, however more will be added as I update the website every Wednesday.
A
large volume squirrel research papers, books, websites, and
photographs already exsist, and I'm grateful to all those who have made
these avaliable. By providing references to the works I've used
to prepare the image captions, I hope to help visitors find additional
information, since this site cannot hope to describe all the details of
the hundreds of squirrel experiments and observations made by
naturalists around the world.
Note: Each species
has its own section. When the word "squirrel" is used in that
section, "squirrel" means only members of that species. In the
section for the fox squirrel, for example, the word "squirrels" refers
to fox squirrels only, unless otherwise noted.
If
you would like to be added to the Sciuridae Mailing List and receive a
weekly e-mail with the photo update to the site, please send a message
