    Squirrel week? Yep, it is over at the Washington Post. They have an informative Q&A with Smithsonian’s own curator of mammals and squirrel expert Dr. Richard Thorington.

    Some of Dr. Thorington’s books about squirrels you can find in your library.

    Some freely downloadable scholarly articles by Dr. Thorington in our Institutional Repository.
