# Stuff You Should Know: Squirrels
Josh and Chuck are absolutely giddy in this episode dedicated to squirrels, those bushy-tailed rodents that are way more fascinating than most people realize. From ground-dwelling prairie dogs and chipmunks to acrobatic tree squirrels and gliding night creatures, the hosts explore why there are nearly three hundred different squirrel species and reveal surprising facts about how these little mammals have shaped our forests, cities, and history. You'll discover why squirrels were almost hunted to extinction in America, how they act as nature's gardeners by "planting" forests, and learn the real reasons behind some of their quirky behaviors like freezing in the middle of the road and burying fake nuts to trick other squirrels.
