Did you know that tree squirrels can be found all over the world except in Australia and Antarctica? In North America, there are nine main kinds of tree squirrels.

So if you want to find out more about these busy rodents, you'll have to run.

You've seen them scurrying in parks, in your backyard, and sometimes down the street. Squirrels can be found everywhere, so why not learn more about them?
