It's hard for me to think past the brush-tailed tree rats that chew through wood and plastic building materials and make my life more difficult, but I will try. Sciuridae is big successful family within the big successful Rodentia order. Here are some highlights from this

I love squirrels, despite that they ruin my garden and hog the birdfeeder. In fact, it was just on Squirrel Appreciation Day that they were nowhere to be seen (could have been due to the snow storm (end of the world, of course, according to news) or maybe they were just all partying in honor of their day ;)
