| "abstract": " Squirrels are members of the family Sciuridae, a family that includes small or medium-size rodents.

The earliest known fossilized squirrels date from the Eocene epoch, and among other living rodent families, the squirrels are most closely related to the mountain beaver and to the dormice.", |

At least some of these probably were variants of the oldest [[basal (evolution)|basal]] \"protosquirrels\" (in the sense that they lacked the full range of living squirrels' [[autapomorphy|autapomorphies]]). The distribution and diversity of such ancient and ancestral forms suggest the squirrels as a group may have originated in North America.<ref name = tolweb>Steppan & Hamm (2006)</ref>\n\nApart from these sometimes little-known fossil forms, the [[phylogeny]] of the living squirrels is fairly straightforward. The three main lineages are the [[Ratufinae]] (Oriental giant squirrels), Sciurillinae and all other subfamilies. The Ratufinae contain a mere handful of living species in tropical [[Asia]]. The [[Neotropical Pygmy Squirrel|neotropical pygmy squirrel]] of tropical [[South America]] is the sole living member of the Sciurillinae. The third lineage, by far the largest, has a near-cosmopolitan distribution. This further supports the hypothesis that the common ancestor of all squirrels, living and fossil, lived in North America, as these three most ancient lineages seem to have [[evolutionary radiation|radiated]] from there; if squirrels had originated in [[Eurasia]], for example, one would expect quite ancient lineages in [[Africa]], but African squirrels seem to be of more recent origin.<ref name = tolweb />\n\nThe main group of squirrels can be split into five subfamilies. The [[Callosciurinae]], 60 species mostly found in [[South East Asia]]; the [[Ratufinae]] 4 cat-sized species found in [[South Asia|south]] and [[southeast Asia]]; the [[Sciurinae]] contains the [[flying squirrel]]s (Pteromyini) and the [[Sciurini|tree squirrels]], 83 species found world wide;<ref>Steppan, S.

| "value": "Squirrels are members of the family Sciuridae (/s ɪ ˈ j uː r ɪ d eɪ, -d iː /), a family that includes small or medium-size rodents . The squirrel family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels (including chipmunks and prairie dogs, among others), and flying squirrels . Squirrels are indigenous to the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa, and were introduced by humans to Australia. The earliest known fossilized squirrels date from the Eocene epoch, and among other living rodent families, the squirrels are most closely related to the mountain beaver and to the dormice .", | |

| "value": "Squirrels, like other rodents, employ species-specific strategies to store food, buffering against periods of scarcity. In temperate regions, squirrels commonly cache nuts beneath leaf litter, inside hollow trees, or underground. However, in subtropical and humid environments, traditional caching can lead to mold growth, decomposition, or premature germination. To counteract these challenges, some squirrels, particularly in subtropical zones, hang nuts or mushrooms on tree branches. This behavior, believed to minimize fungal infections and reduce the risk of food loss, also inadvertently aids certain trees, like Cyclobalanopsis, in expanding their range, with forgotten or dislodged nuts can sprout in new locations, influencing forest ecology. Two species of flying squrrirel, the particolored flying squirrel and Hainan flying squirrel aid such cacheing by carving grooves into the nuts to fix the nuts tightly between small intersecting twigs, akin to the mortise-tenon joint in carpentry.", | |

In temperate regions, early spring is the hardest time of year for squirrels because the nuts they buried are beginning to sprout (and thus are no longer available to eat), while many of the usual food sources are not yet available. During these times, squirrels rely heavily on tree buds. Squirrels, being primarily herbivores, eat a wide variety of plants, as well as nuts, seeds, conifer cones, fruits, fungi, and green vegetation . Some squirrels, however, also consume meat, especially when faced with hunger. Squirrels have been known to eat small birds, young snakes, and smaller rodents, as well as bird eggs and insects . Some tropical squirrel species have shifted almost entirely to a diet of insects.", | |

The neotropical pygmy squirrel of tropical South America is the sole living member of the Sciurillinae. The third lineage, by far the largest, has a near-cosmopolitan distribution. This further supports the hypothesis that the common ancestor of all squirrels, living and fossil, lived in North America, as these three most ancient lineages seem to have radiated from there; if squirrels had originated in Eurasia, for example, one would expect quite ancient lineages in Africa, but African squirrels seem to be of more recent origin.", | |

Yin Jin, a police dog handler, who had been assigned to train these squirrels told The Paper that \"these squirrels have an acute sense of smell. But in the past, our training problems for small rodents was not developed enough to attempt a program like this\" and that her team of squirrels have so far done an \"excellent job\" in drug detection exercises, but are not yet ready to be deployed.", | |
