Perny's long-nosed squirrel

Perny's long-nosed squirrel is a squirrel placed in the genus Dremomys, and its scientific name is Dremomys pernyi. It belongs to the rodent family Sciuridae, the family that holds the squirrels, ground squirrels and marmots. The species has a wide range across eastern and southern Asia. It is recorded in Northeast India, in southern and central China, in northern Myanmar, in northern Vietnam and on the island of Taiwan. Its classification follows the standard reference Mammal Species of the World, in which Thorington and Hoffman treated the squirrel family in 2005. The Wikipedia article on the species is brief and says little about its habits, so details such as diet, habitat and conservation status are not covered here and stay recorded as outstanding for a later fill.
