Black-eared squirrel

Mammals

The black-eared squirrel (Nannosciurus melanotis) is a tiny rodent in the squirrel family Sciuridae. It is monotypic within the genus Nannosciurus, which means that no other species is placed in that genus. The animal is found in forests in Borneo, Sumatra and Java. Apart from its striking whitish and black facial markings, the black-eared squirrel resembles the least pygmy squirrel. The Wikipedia article this entry rests on is brief and gives no account of its diet, breeding, behaviour or conservation status, so this entry records only its identity, classification, appearance in outline and range.
