Four-striped ground squirrel

Mammals

The four-striped ground squirrel (Lariscus hosei) is a species of rodent in the squirrel family Sciuridae. It is endemic to Borneo, which means that it is not found naturally anywhere else in the world. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests, and the source describes it as threatened by habitat loss. The Wikipedia article cites Mammal Species of the World, edited by Wilson and Reeder, for the classification of the family Sciuridae. The article is short and states little about the animal beyond its classification, its island range, its forest habitat and the threat to that habitat, so this entry records only those points.
