This page needs to grow, and then to split off two subsidiary pages, one for each species - there is plenty known about each of them seglea 21:56, 18 Nov 2003 (UTC)

There seem to be three species of Tamiasciurus[edit]

T. Hudsonicus T. douglasii T. mearnsi

As per this source http://www.bucknell.edu/msw3/browse.asp?id=12400001

and as per this source http://www.jstor.org/pss/1383712

The article doesn't mention T. mearnsi

Wikipedia itself even seems to think there are three species: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamiasciurus_mearnsi

I'm going to go ahead and change the article's text to include all three species, based on Thorington & Hoffmann. --Saukkomies ^talk 15:31, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
