Phayre's squirrel

Phayre's squirrel, Callosciurus phayrei, is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae, the squirrel family. It is found in forests in China, where it occurs in Yunnan only, and in Myanmar. The English Wikipedia article on it is a short stub that rests on the squirrel chapter of Mammal Species of the World by Thorington and Hoffman, published in 2005, so this entry records the identification, the genus Callosciurus given in its binomial name, its forest habitat and its range in Yunnan province of China and in Myanmar. Diet, size, behaviour and conservation status are not stated there and are left open until a fuller source supplies them.
