Squirrel, (Sciurus), is usually one of 268 species of rodents in 50 genera. Its common name is derived from the Greek word Skiouros, which means "shadow tail", which describes the most striking and recognizable characteristics of these rodents One of the small mammals. These unique animals occupy many ecological niches in almost all places with vegetation in the world. The squirrel family includes ground squirrels, chipmunks, ground squirrels, ground squirrels, and flying squirrels, but for most people, squirrels refer to 122 species of tree squirrels belonging to 22 genera of the Squirrel subfamily. The North American Grey Squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) has adapted to cities and suburbs, where it is seen as an aesthetic or minor nuisance. In Northern Europe, squirrels (p. vulgaris) is valued for its soft, thick fur. Villagers in the tropical forest keep squirrels as pets. Most species are hunted for food.

 The tree squirrel has a slender body, long, muscular limbs, and hairy feet. The front paws have four long fingers plus a short, sturdy thumb, and the hind paws of the fifteen toes are narrow or medium wide. The bare soles are shaped like protruding pads. Because the ankle joint is flexible and rotatable, the squirrel can descend quickly with its hind feet flat on the torso. Their big shiny eyes convey a vigilant demeanor, and the wide and short head gradually becomes thinner and becomes a blunt mouth with a long beard. Compared with body size, round ears are small and densely covered with short, thin hairs. In some species, these hairs form a long tuft at the tip of the ear. The tail is about as long as the head and body or significantly longer. The tail has hair from the base to the tip. When the hair grows evenly around the tail, it appears thick and cylindrical; when the fur is only from opposite sides, the tail appears flatter. The claws are large, strong, curved and very sharp, which allows squirrels to walk on vertical surfaces and slender branches. Body types vary greatly. The largest are the four Oriental giant squirrels (Ratufa genus), which are native to the tropical forests of Southeast Asia. It weighs 3 to nearly 7 pounds (1.5 to 3 kg), has a body length of 25 to 46 cm (approximately 10 to 18 inches), and its tail is about the same length. Two small squirrels are the smallest: the neotropical small squirrel (Sciurillus pusillus) in the Amazon Basin weighs 33 to 45 grams (1 to 1.5 ounces), is 9 to 12 cm in length, and has the same long tail; the African miniature squirrel in tropical forests of West Africa ( Myosciurus pumilio) is smaller, weighing 13 to 20 grams, having a body length of 6 to 8 cm, and a slightly shorter tail.

Different types of science communications such as systematic or brief reviews, original research articles, letter-to-editor, commentaries, theoretical perspectives, survey observations are accepted by the journal. The journal also articulates theoretical perspectives and expert opinions on the current and emerging approaches, practices and management in poultry, fisheries and wildlife.
