Which family do squirrels belong to?

Our dog does a wonderful job of warning us of a squirrel near by. He believes that those vicious beasts are about to murder us all in our beds.

So enjoy watching them play, challenge & "communicate' with one another, their wonderful sense of balance is extraordinary, even using/swishing their tails to do so.

No squirrels in Australia

Not so cute when they decide to nest in my attic.

Kevin, The Wallace line runs between Bali and Australia. The plants and animals are different due past tectonic movement.

I call our grey ones tree rats!

Deborah , he may be right!

My neighbor calls them "Rats with a tail".
