Lowland long-nosed squirrel

The lowland long-nosed squirrel (Hyosciurus ileile) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae. It is endemic to Sulawesi, Indonesia, meaning that it is found nowhere else, and its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry lowland grassland. It belongs to the genus Hyosciurus and was described by George Henry Hamilton Tate and Richard Archbold in 1936. Its common name sets it against the other long-nosed squirrel of the same genus by pointing to the lowlands of the island. The article cites the 2005 Mammal Species of the World as its reference and gives no account of its diet, behaviour or population size, so those facts remain to be filled from other sources.
