  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squirrel > Squirrels are members of the family Sciuridae, a family that includes small or medium-size rodents. The squirrel family includes tree squirrels, ground squirrels, chipmunks, marmots (including woodchucks), flying squirrels, and prairie dogs amongst other rodents. (TLDR, chipmunks are squirrels)

    The Sciuridae family includes chipmunks; that doesn't mean chupmunks are squirrels, nor that marmots are squirrels.

        Fair enough; it does appear that the entire family can be referred to as squirrels.
