Himalayan striped squirrel

Mammals

The Himalayan striped squirrel, Tamiops mcclellandii, is a rodent in the family Sciuridae that is also known as the western striped squirrel or the Burmese striped squirrel. Wikipedia says it lives in a variety of forest from tropical to subtropical across Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Thailand and Vietnam. It is diurnal and arboreal, feeds on fruit, vegetable matter and insects, is often seen in small groups and shelters in tree holes. The rapid uplift of the Himalayas is believed to have driven the diversification of the three main Tamiops lineages between about 5.8 and 1.7 million years ago. The Mammal Diversity Database notes that the species previously included Tamiops barbei, lists a narrower range, and gives its IUCN Red List status as Least Concern.
