There are two African families of squirrels that have range into the Southern Hemisphere, the Xerini and Protoxerini. Yes, I checked Wikipedia. Nitpicking (talk) 03:10, 2 March 2024 (UTC)

Australia has large number of “Big Things”. These are big sculptures / novelty architecture that are scattered over the country. These include things like the Big Cow, The Big Penguin and the Giant Koala. The Koala at 14 meters high is bigger then the fictional squirrel statue.

Since there may be as many as 600 of these things across Australia, the qualification is not as odd as it may sound at first. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_things_(Australia) )
