Xerinae
The Xerinae are the most species-rich subfamily of squirrels, many of which are highly terrestrial. They include the tribes Marmotini (marmots, chipmunks, prairie dogs, and other Holarctic ground squirrels), Xerini (African and some Eurasian ground squirrels), and Protoxerini (African tree squirrels).
