Mammals

The green bush squirrel, Paraxerus poensis, is a rodent in the squirrel family Sciuridae and a member of the African bush squirrel genus Paraxerus. Wikipedia lists it from Benin, Cameroon, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ivory Coast, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, and the Mammal Diversity Database adds Angola and the Central African Republic to that range. Its natural habitats are subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest and plantations. The name was first published as Sciurus poensis, from a type locality on Bioko in Equatorial Guinea. The Mammal Diversity Database records it as a living species found in the wild and gives its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern.
