What place did they come from that didn't have squirrels? I thought they're native to pretty much any place that isn't Australia or the poles.
- ravenstine 5y agoNew Zealand.
- bentpins 5y agoCan confirm. Went on a trip NZ->UK and was fascinated. They're so twitchy, fast and inquisitive, and so furry. They are legitimately as interesting to watch to me as almost any zoo animal.

- jbotz 5y agoThere are squirrels in Brazil. They aren't as common as the (about equally sized) marmosets, but they are not all that rare. They are called "caxinguelê" or "serelepe".
- chanux 5y agoI worked with two guys who ran Sheep farms in Australia. Once at the lunch time they saw a couple squirrels (this was in Sri Lanka) and they were really fascinated by them. They said they don't have squirrels in Australia and I was fascinated by that. A quick Google kind of says there are at least a few still left[1] in Australia.
