Sherman's fox squirrel (Sciurus niger shermani) is a subspecies of the fox squirrel. It lives in the U.S. states of Florida and Georgia in fire-prone areas of longleaf pine and wiregrass, especially around sandhills.[1] A tree squirrel, Sherman's fox squirrel has lost much of its habitat to farming and development.[1][2] This type of squirrel nests in oak trees using leaves and Spanish moss.[1]
