Squirrels first appeared on Earth around 36 million years ago during the late Eocene epoch. They are part of the family Sciuridae, which has evolved into various species over time. Fossil evidence indicates that modern squirrels diverged into their current forms approximately 15 million years ago. Today, there are over 200 species of squirrels found worldwide.
