Instead of a state mammal, Kentucky has a wild animal game species, because you know...Kentucky. The Sciurus Carolinensis is more commonly known as what?
Answer Eastern Grey Squirrel
The Eastern Grey Squirrel was made the state wild game species of Kentucky back in 1968. This squirrel belongs to the rodent family that has been in North America for over 37 million years, way predating Kentucky. This species of squirrel is most common east of the Mississippi (hence the name Eastern Grey Squirrel).
