Ground Hogs are squirrels

On the way to church, my son was asking if Ground Hogs were beavers. I told him, I'd have to look it up, because off the top of my head I wasn't even sure both were rodents. Both are from the order, Rodentia, beavers are from the sub-order, Castorimorpha, and the family, Castoridae, which has only one non-extinct genus and two species. Ground Hogs are from the sub-order, Sciuromorpha, and the family, Sciuridae (Squirrels). Little known fact, Ground Hogs are considered part of the squirrel kind by Answers and Genesis. Like Darwin's finches are still finches, one could also say Ground Hogs are still squirrels.
