Squirrel Love

as part of my ongoing interest in taxidermy I'm learning about all kinds of critters I never knew existed! For example Squirrels! One of my newest favorite animals, They're cute, playful, little, soft, and funny!

I couldn't possibly feature all squirrels on this stamp but I tried to show a LOT of them.

"The living squirrels are divided into 5 subfamilies, with about 50 genera and nearly 280 species. The oldest squirrel fossil, Hesperopetes, dates back to the Chadronian (Late Eocene, about 40 – 35 million years ago), and is similar to modern flying squirrels.[14]"
