Bartel's flying squirrel

Bartel's flying squirrel (Hylopetes bartelsi) is a rodent in the family Sciuridae, the squirrels, and belongs to the genus Hylopetes, which the Animal Diversity Web calls the pygmy flying squirrels. It is endemic to West Java, Indonesia, which means it is not found naturally anywhere else, and it inhabits subtropical and tropical forest. The English name honours the Dutch naturalist Max Eduard Gottlieb Bartels. The species was described in 1939 by the zoologist Frederick Nutter Chasen. The pages read for this entry are short, so its size, diet, daily rhythm, breeding and population are not described here, and those details are left open rather than guessed.
