The term "Sciuromorpha" refers to a group of small to medium-sized mammals that primarily include squirrels, chipmunks, and marmots. This group is characterized by their strong hind limbs, bushy tails, and sharp claws, which help them climb trees and navigate their environments. Sciuromorpha is part of the order Rodentia, which is known for its diverse range of species. Sciuromorpha is divided into several families, including Sciuridae (squirrels) and Castoridae (beavers). These animals are typically found in various habitats, from forests to urban areas, and play important roles in their ecosystems, such as seed dispersal and soil aeration. Their adaptability and social behaviors make them fascinating subjects of study in wildlife biology.
