The Yucatan squirrel (Sciurus yucatanensis), first named the Yucatan gray squirrel and once called the Campeche squirrel, is a tree squirrel of the genus Sciurus native to the Yucatan Peninsula and nearby areas of northern Belize, northeastern Guatemala and southeast Mexico. It lives in dry deciduous and evergreen forest, semiarid pine-oak woodland and regrowing logged forest below 750 m, is active by day, and spends most of its time in trees. It is 450 to 500 mm long, eats soft fruit, nuts, seeds, flowers and buds, and has three recognised subspecies. Deforestation is considered a major threat to its population.
