Douglassciurus jeffersoni Kit
Douglassciurus jeffersoni (kit)
This juvenile extinct squirrel likely stayed close to sheltered woodland cover while developing its climbing and foraging skills. Its growing incisors were suited to nibbling seeds, nuts, and other tough plant foods. Fossil evidence for the genus comes chiefly from teeth and jaws, so its exact juvenile habits remain inferred rather than directly observed.
