Sciurillinae Subfamily

 Different types  Squirrels are a diverse group with about 279 species and 51 species divided into five families (Ratufinae, Sciurillinae, Sciurinae, Xerinae, and Callosciurinae). The Sciuridae family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, and flying squirrels. Tree spiders have long, bushy tails, sharp hands, and large ears. Some have well-developed ear tufts. Flying squirrels have skin (patagium) that extends between the wrists and ankles that allows them to fly between trees. Ground squirrels are usually more robust than tree squirrels and often have short, stiff legs that are used for playing. Their tails, although well-furred, are not as bushy as those of tree squirrels.
