The picture I uploaded is of a squirrel. Squirrels are members of the Sciuridae family. That family includes all types of medium-sized and small rodents. Some history on squirrels is that they are indigenous to the Americas, Eurasia, and Africa. They are also closely related to the mountain beaver and the dormice. The squirrel I found in Shaver Lake, I'm assuming is a tree squirrel just because tree squirrels like to be in wooden areas.
