Squirrels of the World's Cities

Q: Where can you see Squirrels of the World's Cities?

Across several parks. No single city in our data has all 4, so it takes more than one trip. Where each is easiest: eastern gray squirrel in Turin (about 90%), red squirrel in Dushanbe (about 80%), palm squirrel in Agra (about 80%) and pallas's squirrel in Hanoi (about 70%), as the share of wildlife watchers who report it on a given day.

Q: How do you complete Squirrels of the World's Cities on Wallace's Line?

Mark them as seen. Tick ✓ Seen on each animal's card, add your trips, or link your iNaturalist account. Your passport counts Squirrels of the World's Cities three ways: anywhere in the world, all in one park, and all in a single trip.
