Smith's bush squirrel (Paraxerus cepapi), also known as the yellow-footed squirrel or tree squirrel, is an African bush squirrel native to woodlands of the southern Afrotropics. It is found in Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe, and is a common, diurnal rodent. Its total length is about 350 millimetres, half of it tail, and it weighs about 200 grams. Coat colour varies, pale grey in the arid west and browner in the east, with a rusty head and legs and a white belly. It is mostly vegetarian but takes insects, and it scatter-hoards seeds, which helps trees regenerate. Family groups nest together in tree holes, share a common scent through mutual grooming, and mob threats with harsh clicking calls while flicking their tails.
