A fox squirrel stands near the side of a backroad in Florida's Big Cypress National Preserve. Fourth in my small mammal. One more tomorrow.
This is one of the largest squirrel species measuring over 75cm from snout to tip of tail and weighing over a Kg.

Sciurus pucheranii (Andean squirrel / Ardilla andina)
The Andean squirrel (Sciurus pucheranii) is a tree squirrel endemic to Colombia.
The Andean squirrel is a typical tree squirrel, in its general proportions resembling the Eastern grey squirrel of North America. However, it is much smaller, with a body length of only about 14 centimetres (5.5 in), and a 12 to 16 centimetres (4.7 to 6.3 in) tail. It has soft, silky, reddish-brown fur over most of the body, merging to greyish-yellow on the underparts. The tail fur is darker than that on the body,
It inhabits montane rain forest and cloud forests of the Cordillera Occidental and Cordillera Central of the Colombian Andes, at elevations between 2,000 and 3,300 metres (6,600 and 10,800 ft). As a tree squirrel, it lives among Cecropia trees, palms, and tree ferns.

It is believed to be diurnal, but sufficiently little is known about its habits, population, and habitat requirements, that it is currently listed as data deficient by the IUCN.

Eastern Fox Squirrel.
The largest tree squirrel at 17 to 28 inches in length. It has three color phases: in the northeastern part of the range, gray above and yellowish below; in western part, bright rust below; in southern part, black often with white blaze on face and white tail tip. In South Carolina, they are typically black with white ears and nose.
They inhabit oak-hickroy woods and in the south, live oak and mixed forests, cypress and mangrove swamps and piney areas.
Except for the New England area they range throughout the eastern United States to roughly the Dakotas, northeastern Colorado and eastern Texas.

American Red Squirrel.
Between 10 5/8 and 15 1/4 inches long. The smallest tree squirrel in its range. Rust-red to grayish red above, brightest on sides; white or grayish-white below. In winter black lines separate reddish back from whitish belly. Tail is similar to back color, but is outlined with broad black band edged with white. In summer its coat is duller. In winter has prominent ear tufts.
They are often abundant in any kind of forest: natural coniferous forests, pine plantations, mixed or hardwood forests; often around buildings.
They range throughout much of Alaska and Canada; in the continental United States south through the Rocky Mountain states and east from Iowa to north Virginia. They are also in the Alleghenies.

The red squirrels (Sciurus vulgaris) inhabiting the pine forest trail of Yeongok Beach (연곡해변솔밭길) in Gangneung, Gangwon Province, are part of the eastern range of this species. In South Korea, these squirrels are typically classified as the subspecies S. v. coreae (also known as S. v. coreanus), which is adapted to the country’s temperate coniferous and mixed forests. In this area, they live among coastal pine trees, feeding primarily on pine seeds, buds, and fungi.
The forested area near the East Sea provides them with a stable habitat rich in vegetation, ideal for their diurnal activity and territorial behavior. They are often seen in the early mornings, moving swiftly through the trees—especially in autumn, when they gather food for the winter.
