∙ 14y agoA squirrel is not a species, but rather a family: Sciuridae. (The hierarchy is commonly thought of as kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species). Therefore, the term "squirrel" does not apply to a specific species of animal, but rather a broad family of animals. The bulk of Sciuridae can be divided into 3 subfamilies, Rutafinae, Sciurillinae, and Sciurinae, and their respective genera. One of the most common squirrels, the American Red Squirrel or the pine squirrel, is known as Tamiasciurus hudsonicus, under the subfamily Sciurinae, genus Tamiasciurus.
