Philippine tree squirrel

The Philippine tree squirrel (Sundasciurus philippinensis) is a species of rodent in the family Sciuridae that is endemic to the Philippines, so it occurs nowhere else. It can only be found on Palawan, Bohol, Leyte, Samar and Siargao. It is known locally as laksoy or kulagsing in the Visayan languages, as are other endemic Philippine squirrels. The species was described by George Robert Waterhouse in 1839 in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, and it sits in the genus Sundasciurus beside several other Philippine squirrels. The article cites the Mammal Species of the World treatment of the family Sciuridae by Thorington and Hoffman as its reference and gives no account of its diet, behaviour or population.
