Mammals

Anderson's squirrel (Callosciurus quinquestriatus) is a species of tree squirrel, a rodent in the family Sciuridae, the family that holds the squirrels of the world. It lives in forests and has a small range in southern Asia: in China it is recorded only from Yunnan province, and it also occurs in neighbouring Myanmar. The species belongs to the genus Callosciurus, a group of Asian tree squirrels. The Wikipedia article that this entry rests on is a short stub, so the account here is limited to the identity, family and range that the article states; habits, diet and population details are left for further sourcing rather than guessed.
