Hose's pygmy flying squirrel

Mammals

Hose's pygmy flying squirrel (Petaurillus hosei) is a small flying squirrel in the rodent family Sciuridae, the squirrel family. Its common name honours the zoologist Charles Hose, after whom the species was named. It is endemic to the northern part of the island of Borneo, which means it is found nowhere else in the world. Within Borneo it is known from northeastern Sarawak and from Sabah, both in Malaysia, and from Brunei. The article that describes it is very short, so this entry records only its identity, its family, the person it is named after and its restricted range, and says nothing about its diet, behaviour or numbers.
