About SquirrelSpot

SquirrelSpot is a directory for people who love squirrels: a place to post photos and videos of the squirrels in your life, browse sightings from other people, and learn the species.

Our data

Species facts (size, weight, range, diet, IUCN status) come from each species' English Wikipedia article, linked on every species page, read in October 2026. Where an article didn't state a number we left it blank rather than guess.

Sample listings

Until community posting opens, the feed shows sample posts made from free-licensed Wikimedia Commons photos. Each one is marked Sample and credited below. The usernames, captions and like counts on sample posts are made up to show how the feed works.
